What happened: Hirving Lozano made his first appearance for LA Galaxy in the club's match at Houston Dynamo FC. The Galaxy announced the debut on their social channels ahead of kickoff.
Why it matters: LA Galaxy enter the match 0-4 this season, having lost their last four, while scoring just 0.5 goals per game. Houston is 2-1 over its last five with a two-game win streak, giving Lozano's debut added weight against a team playing well.
By the numbers: LA Galaxy: 0-4 this season, last five LLLL, current streak L4, scoring 0.5 goals per game, allowing 1.8. Houston Dynamo FC: 2-1 this season, last five WWL, current streak W2, scoring 2.0 goals per game, allowing 0.3.
What to watch: How Lozano is deployed and whether he can help break Galaxy's four-game skid will shape the club's next few matches.
