The LA Galaxy will host Deportivo Toluca FC in the second leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday, April 15, at Dignity Health Sports Park (FS1, TUDN), with kickoff set for 6 p.m. PT. Toluca claimed a 4–2 victory in the first leg last week at Estadio Nemesio Díez in Mexico, with Gabriel Pec and Marco Reus scoring vital away goals for LA.
LA Galaxy vs Deportivo Toluca FC
Despite losing in the opening match of the two‑legged fixture, LA secured two crucial away goals from forward Gabriel Pec, the competition’s leading scorer, and midfielder Marco Reus, who now has six goal contributions in his last six matches. With the away‑goals tiebreaker in their favor, the Galaxy can advance with a 2–0 or 3–1 victory. A 4–2 win would send the match to extra time. If tied on aggregate after extra time, a penalty shootout will decide who advances to the semifinals. Any loss would eliminate LA from the competition. Prior to this year’s quarterfinal series, the two clubs had met once before, with Toluca earning a 3–2 victory in the 2025 Campeones Cup.
LA Galaxy Recent Form
The LA Galaxy enter the match with a 4‑4‑4 record across all competitions in the 2026 season, most recently earning a 2–1 road victory over Austin FC at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas. Marco Reus and Maya Yoshida combined on a corner kick to open the scoring, before Erik Thommy netted his first goal for the club to seal the win.
João Klauss (8 G/A) and Gabriel Pec (8 G/A) lead the Galaxy attack, with Pec scoring his competition‑leading sixth Concacaf Champions Cup goal in the first leg against Toluca. Klauss, meanwhile, is tied for second in MLS with five goals. Midfielder Marco Reus sits just behind the Brazilian duo (7 G/A) and has recorded six goal contributions over the last six matches.
