LAFC vs. LA Galaxy score: Carlos Vela gets a goal in his return as Bob Bradley’s crew win El Trafico

Carlos Vela is back, and LAFC potentially are as polite. The Mexican star returned from injury and came off the bench in El Trafico on Sunday in a 2-0 win over the Los Angeles Galaxy, with the former Real Sociedad man scoring to put the game absent late.

LAFC took a 1-0 lead early in the second one half on a goal from Danny Musovski before Vela, who returned from an MCL injury he suffered in August, scored in injury time with this gorgeous strike. Have a look:

Sharp from Vela and LAFC who were 10 times better than their rival. The Galaxy missing defender Giancarlo Gonzalez to a red card 25 minutes in, and the team had only one shot on goal and five complete, while LAFC had 27 complete shots.

That victory lifts LAFC into fourth place in the Western Convention and gives them some momentum after having a look moderately average for awhile without their star.

As for the Galaxy, they have got missing 10 of 18 games on the season, and manager Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s days as manager could be numbered. The Galaxy are deceased final in the Western Convention with a 5-3-10 record. The Galaxy have won win since early September.
