The loss of center back Marlon, whose contract expired nine days ago, has also created a hole, this one on the back line.

And Colombian center back Emiro Garcés has become more a liability than an asset.

But despite the scoreless draw, the Galaxy suffered a big loss when their captain and center back, Maya Yoshida, limped off with an apparent hamstring injury late in the first half.

He also used Cameron Carter-Vickers and Mark McKenzie at center back and pushed Joe Scally across the field to right back.

“It was a long ball over my head and the center back’s head and it bounced out in front of me, there was miscommunication between the keeper and center back and I buried it top corner,” the UC San Diego-bound forward said of his 20th goal of the season.
