LA Galaxy's season ended in disappointment on November 7, 2026, as they fell 2-1 to Real Salt Lake at America First Field in Sandy, Utah, missing the MLS playoffs. The defeat marked a failure to meet the moment for the Galaxy, who needed a positive result to extend their campaign.
Midfielder Sergi Roberto, wearing the number 6 shirt, battled for possession against Real Salt Lake's Stijn Spierings, also number 6, in the second half. The match was captured by photographer Rob Jalon of The Sporting Tribune.
