English Television: Spectrum SportsNet Spanish Television: Spectrum Deportes English Radio: LAGalaxy.com Spanish Radio: KWKW ESPN 1330 THE MATCH: With 11 games left, LA Galaxy – MLS Western Conference’s best team on the road (5-5-1) in 2017 – travel to Columbus in search of another away result. Columbus is 8-3-1 at home in 2017, and remains in the thick of the chase for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Crew SC is 1-3-1 in their last five matches and will also be participating in two matches this week, facing Dallas on Saturday at home. The Galaxy are 15-16-10 all-time against Crew SC, going 4-9-6 in road games against the side. LA are 2-1-2 in their last five trips to Columbus. LA GALAXY NOTES:

• Almost 40 percent of minutes have been played by LA Galaxy Homegrowns or LA Galaxy II graduates.

• Romain Alessandrini has been one of the best players in MLS this season.

o He’s recorded 8 goals and 8 assists in 21 games.

o Alessandrini, Diego Valeri, Miguel Almiron and Lee Nguyen are the only players to have reached at least 8/8 before the All-Star break.

LA GALAXY TRANSFER DEFENDER JELLE VAN DAMME TO ROYAL ANTWERP F.C.: The LA Galaxy have completed the transfer of defender Jelle Van Damme to Royal Antwerp F.C. in the Jupiler Pro League, Belgium’s top-flight division, the club announced Friday. The Galaxy receive $235,000 from Antwerp F.C. for Van Damme, 33, who departs from the Galaxy after joining the club on a free transfer prior to the 2016 MLS season, making 46 appearances over two years. “Jelle came to us and requested to return home to Belgium to be closer to his children,” LA Galaxy General Manager Pete Vagenas said. “We worked closely with Jelle and Royal Antwerp so that we could make this move possible for Jelle and his

family. Our top priority remains the success of the LA Galaxy. We thank him for his time with our club and wish him the best going forward.” Van Damme made 46 appearances, all starts, for the LA Galaxy since joining the club before the start of the 2016 MLS Regular Season. This year, the veteran defender was named team captain. During his time with the club, he earned honors as a 2016 MLS Best XI Defender, two-time MLS All-Star and was named the 2016 LA Galaxy Defender of the Year. SIGI SCHMID CONFIDENT DAVE ROMNEY AND DANIEL STERES WILL "STEP UP" IN CENTRAL DEFENSE | INSIDER: With Van Damme returning to Belgium last week, the Galaxy’s head coach must decide who will fill the spot vacated by the 2016 MLS Defender of the Year nominee, starting with this Wednesday’s match against Columbus Crew SC. Ahead of the Columbus match, Schmid expects to rely upon the tandem of Dave Romney and Daniel Steres who started together during the team’s recent 2-0 defeat to New York City FC. “Romney and Steres are the guys there right now. They’ll step up and do the job,” Schmid said. “The last game, they played very pretty well. I don’t think there were major issues, I thought we did a pretty job, they did well and they were sharp and they have to communicate well because that’s an extremely important part of their career.” Steres, who has vast experience playing with Romney dating back to their days with LA Galaxy II, relishes the opportunity to line up alongside his longtime teammate.’ “Our relationship is good. We’ve been playing for the last three years together. We know each other well and now that he’ll be able to step into that role, for the time being, It’s time to work on the relationship and we need to start getting zeros.” NEXT UP: LA Galaxy return home for Los Angeles’ first Cali Clásico of the season. The match kicks off at 4 p.m. PT on Sunday, Aug. 27 (Fox Sports 1, Fox Deportes).

LA GALAXY HEAD COACH SIGI SCHMID On the performance:“The guys aren’t happy with the results and neither are the fans. I thought from a soccer standpoint, we played really well. We deserved to come out of that game with more. When you look at the game, I thought we dominated the game. When you look at the chances that we created and the corners we got and the possession and everything else, I thought the team played pretty well. It’s a bad goal to take. The first goal is a horrible goal to take. Those are the kind of goals that deflate a team. Now you take the air out of the balloon so it becomes harder. No one is going to be harder on himself right now than Brian, in regard to that goal. We’re certainly here to support him, but things like that change games. Sean Johnson came up with three to four saves and the game tips.” On the performance of Gyasi Zardes:“I thought he was anonymous for the first 30 minutes for sure. I think after that he got more involved and he started getting balls in the channels. He started to stretch the defenders a little bit with his running. I know he got a chance at the end of the game and that’s the one that everybody remembers. I thought his play improved as the game went on, but we need more from him. It wasn’t enough.” On what was missing from tonight’s match:“A center forward. That’s probably one. Someone who is very comfortable finishing goals. At the end of the day, I can’t be harsh on my team because they worked hard and did everything that I asked them to do. The performance on the field, the work rate, the way we played…it was something I was very happy with. We did not deserve to lose 2-0 tonight. There’s big time finishers in this league that are playing. Gyasi is in a rut right now. We’re trying to get him out of that rut, but that’s the area that we need right now.” On Gyasi Zardes’ struggles finding the back of the net: “We did some work on his shooting and footwork on that. We’ll continue to support him and continue to work. What happens when you’re a forward is that sometimes you start to press and you don’t believe. Forwards have to have short-term memories. They can’t remember the last time they missed a goal. You’ve got to eliminate that. He’s a good kid. He works hard and things will come through.” On an injury update for Giovani dos Santos:“We think Giovani should be able to play our next game in Columbus. We think he should be back. “ On Emmanuel Boateng’s performance:

“I thought Ema played well. He was dangerous, he turned the corner. There were some crosses, even in the first half where a little better running up top…we’ve talked about that: getting crosses in behind the defense when they’re facing their own goal and that gap. But we need the hard running up front, so I thought Ema was good.” On the performance of Jonathan dos Santos:“I didn’t think we would play him 90 minutes, I’ll tell you that. We were looking at 45 and then we checked with him. Then I think after 15 minutes he was dead on his feet then he caught a second wind and we said let’s go 15-20 more in the second half and we’ll see where we’re at. But he was able to manage his way through the game and he was able to find pockets. I’m sure if we had to play tomorrow, I don’t think he could play at all. He might have trouble getting out of bed tomorrow after that game. But I was pleased with him.” On what he liked about the match:“The more trainings we get in the more the guys understand what we’re trying to do. I thought our ball movement was quicker in the back and that opened things up and got Romain and Ema isolated a little bit which is something we need to do for two of our most dangerous players. Now it’s just a matter of us continuing to do that and continuing to build our fitness. I thought our fitness tonight was much better than it’s been in our last few games and we have to continue to build on that.” LA GALAXY MIDFIELDER JONATHAN DOS SANTOS[Translated from Spanish] On the game:“It's that we are in a complicated situation, when we are in this bad run it is difficult to overcome. They had two chances and took advantage of both that were two very great goals but, they could have been prevented. What we have to do now is keep moving forward and work hard day in and day out. We have to keep fighting because this doesn't end here, there is still a lot of remaining games. The team with this loss, here at home, with our fans, it hurts. However, there is still time to recover and move forward.” On playing 90 minutes:“I still have a long way to go. I've only had four training sessions with the team and one game after being inactive for a month. I will gain my normal rhythm little by little. It is true that today wasn't my best game, I still need to gain a lot of my rhythm. However, that is why I'm here, to work hard, to demonstrate my level of play. The soonest possible I intent to be at 100 percent.” On Sigi Schmid saying the team didn't deserve to lose and whether he agrees:“Yes, I think so. We had a lot of opportunities that we were not able to finish. The team fought hard until the last minute, we played very intensely in all aspects. In the end, football, the game is decided on who scores the goals, we didn't do that, they did. We have to look forward and keep working.” Thoughts on his performance:“I still need a lot of rhythm and to demonstrate a lot. I didn't have the best game but, I tried and gave it my all. I know it's not an excuse but, I've had some time inactive, it's normal. I'm tranquil and, I know I will help out the team a lot. I need to be at 100 percent and reach my maximum level of play the soonest possible.” On the NYCFC goalkeeper making several outstanding saves:“Yes, the goalkeeper was in the right spot at the right time. Some day you just have that kind of night and I think he had such a night. We attempted in all forms, free kicks, corner kicks and shots on goal. It was just one of those nights where the ball won’t go in and you have bad luck. To be in this bad run is very complicated I football. We intend to overcome this as soon as possible but we still have time.” LA GALAXY DEFENDER DANIEL STERES On if the team was unlucky tonight: “I would agree with that. I don’t think we deserved to lose it. Their ‘keeper stood on his head tonight. I don’t know how many shots we had on target, but we had near 10, if not more. We just couldn’t find it. It’s just not going our way. They got a couple of shots and they get a couple of goals.” On the team being in a rut:“There’s no real way to explain it. We dominated that game and absolutely deserved to win. We had chances to win it. It’s not happening. If you want to call it a rut, call it a rut. Unlucky, call it that. Whatever you want to call it, it’s just not happening right now.”

LA GALAXY DEFENDER BRIAN ROWE On New York City FC’s first goal:“I just saw it late. I just saw Jermaine was in front of him and tried to see the ball coming off his foot. It went up and over. A game like that where we have a lot of momentum going forward and a lot of opportunities and I don’t see a lot of action down there … it’s one I need to make a save on.” On the team’s performance:“Our defense did great. They had two opportunities maybe and two goals. They didn’t deserve to give up two goals. I don’t think they earned them.” LA GALAXY FORWARD EMMANUEL BOATENG On the NYCFC’s goalkeepers performance:“He had many saves, he’s a good goalie. We had a good day and made some chances and we kept pushing and we probably should of put one or two away. We had the ball most of the time and we created a lot of chances the ball just couldn’t go in and we couldn’t get a break” On why the Galaxy couldn’t capitalize:“I think we just need to focus a little more, we need to focus more on finishing in practice. The goalie made a lot of good saves, and didn’t make a lot of mistakes. I think we just need to keep going, it’s better to have games like that where we have a lot of shots on goal rather than games where we cant penetrate at all.” On his crossing ability:My job is to get to the line and put a cross in, ten other guys have to get in the box when I do that. Obviously I have to work on it and get better and try to find a guy every time but when Im going down the line I have to make a chance for someone else. LA GALAXY MIDFIELDER JERMAINE JONESOn his foot injury:“I felt like something happened with my shoe and when I took it off it looked good but then when I came in at half time it was filled with blood. I had a big cut underneath my toe, we made it numb at half time and I kept going” On the defensive performance:“We do everthing right and the goalkeeper from New York comes up with great saves, and we give up two chances. But mistakes happen and we have to look forward and grind and work for it and I hope we come out of it and make the run.” On why the Galaxy couldn’t score:“The Goalkeeper made a could good saves, and sometimes that’s what you need. He had a good game and we lost 2-0.” LA GALAXY DEFENDER ASHLEY COLE On the teams overall performance:“We worked hard for each other, we played forward and we played around the back and we looked comfortable. We had a few chances but we couldn’t get one in. Give them credit they know how to play and when you have strikers like David Villa he only needs one chance” On the teams recent performance:“We came in to the game kind of hopeful that we’ll change things around at home, after the first half we were excited and positive and we thought we need to build off this performance and in the second half we dropped off and gave up two shots outside the box” On them getting more break than the Galaxy:“Yeah, most things are going against us right now, one day it’s got to change, it cant stay this way at home. It’s don’t think it’s gonna carry on the whole season, it’s difficult to take after the first half performance.”
