Tyler Boyd scored his team-leading fifth goal of the season just moments after opposing midfielder Gaston Gimenez was sent off in the first half as the LA Galaxy went on to a methodical 3–0 victory over the visiting Chicago Fire on Saturday night, August 26.

Riqui Puig scored his fourth goal later on for the Galaxy (6–10–7, 25 points), who began the night in second-to-last place in the Western Conference but won their third straight home match in league play.
