Paintsil on Fire Heading Into Campeones Cup The trend of MLS hat tricks continued on Matchday 37 as LA Galaxy forward Joseph Paintsil scored three goals against Sporting Kansas City in the club’s 4-1 victory. All three of Paintsil’s goals came in the first half and the Ghanaian international became the third player in club history to produce a first half hat trick, joining Robbie Keane (May 26, 2013) and Alejandro Moreno (May 19, 2004). In the month of September, there has already been seven different hat tricks in the regular season with five of those from Western Conference clubs. Next up for the Galaxy is an opportunity to earn a trophy when they host LIGA MX champions Toluca at Dignity Health Sports Park in the 2025 Michelob Ultra Campeones Cup. The match will be on Wednesday, October 1 (10:30 p.m. ET, MLS Season Pass on Apple TV), and it marks the seventh edition of the annual competition that pits the reigning MLS Cup champion against the reigning LIGA MX champion. |
