Los Angeles Galaxy v Vancouver Whitecaps: Vanney lauds 'difference-maker' Reus The Los Angeles Galaxy will be hoping to snap the Vancouver Whitecaps' winning streak when they face off at Dignity Health Sports Park. Los Angeles Galaxy head coach Greg Vanney praised Marco Reus ahead of their clash with the Vancouver Whitecaps, highlighting the German's impact on the team. Reus scored both goals in the Galaxy's 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake, lifting the team to 10th in the Western Conference. The 36-year-old has contributed to seven goals in 10 MLS games this season, with four goals and three assists, following 12 direct goal involvements in 21 league appearances in 2025. Vanney emphasized Reus's unique role as a creative force in midfield, contrasting him with the team's other players who are described as hardworking facilitators. "Marco is our quality when it comes to setting up final actions in our midfield," Vanney said. "He brings something that nobody else on the field brings for us, and we need that." The coach stressed the importance of creating opportunities for Reus to showcase his skills, ensuring the team avoids a grinding approach that doesn't suit him. The Vancouver Whitecaps are in strong form, having secured four consecutive wins to move into second place in the Western Conference. However, all their victories have come at home, and this match marks their first away game since March 7, with only two away games in the season. Los Angeles Galaxy striker Joseph Paintsil has a history of success against Vancouver, scoring four regular-season goals in three matches, a record surpassed only by Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane.#los_angeles_galaxy #vancouver_whitecaps #greg_vanney #marco_reus #brian_white
