67' | Substitution: Robert Taylor 🔄 Hirving Lozano https://t.co/zND2XtJdQ9 Via @LAGalaxy on X

What happened: Lozano debuted against Houston five days earlier, entering from the bench in a 1-0 loss. Taylor had started three consecutive matches before moving to the bench Thursday.

Why it matters: Lozano's 67-minute outing marked his first extended Galaxy run after a 25-minute debut. His loan runs through December 2026 and includes a permanent trade option.

By the numbers: Lozano's scheduled workload increased by 42 minutes from his debut to his first home start.

What to watch: Watch whether Lozano retains the starting role or Taylor returns to the lineup.
