INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Dejan Joveljic and Jonathan Pérez each scored, and the Los Angeles Galaxy defeated Chivas de Guadalajara 2-0 in a friendly at SoFi Stadium. Joveljic stuck out his left foot to redirect a corner kick by Efrain Alvarez into the top netting in the 28th minute. Perez made it 2-0 in the 63rd minute with a well-struck shot from outside the penalty box that beat Raúl Rangel to the lunging goalkeeper’s left. Club América defeat LAFC on penalty kicks following a 0-0 draw in the nightcap of Wednesday’s doubleheader. It was the first time soccer was played at SoFi, which will host World Cup matches in 2026.
