In a one-sided contest at Dignity Health Sports Park, hosts LA Galaxy thrashed visitors Sporting KC in a Major League Soccer (MLS) 2025 match, where Joseph Paintsil hogged all the limelight. Paintsil opened the scoring for LA Galaxy, finding the back of the net in the fourth minute, and then doubling the scoreline in the 25th. Dejan Jovelijic managed to strike back for Sporting KC, hitting a goal in the 28th minute, to cut down the advantage to 1. However, Paintsil thumped in his third goal to complete a hat-trick and hand the homeside a two-goal advantage again on the brink of half-time. Diego Fagundez hit a fourth goal for LA Galaxy, which completely flustered Sporting KC, who were down to 10 men after Magomed Suleymanov received a red card in the 83rd minute. The scoreline barely changed as Sporting KC suffered their ninth loss in their last 10 MLS games, while LA Galaxy maintained their position at the bottom of the Western Conference points table despite a win.
