The Union came from behind in stunning fashion to beat the Los Angeles Galaxy, 3-2, on Wednesday at Subaru Park. In front of a crowd small enough that players’ shouts to each other could be heard from the press box, the Union (8-3-2, 26 points) fell into a 2-0 hole in the first half against a Galaxy team that was the last winless outfit in MLS (0-10-3, 3 points). Mauricio Cuevas and Diego Fagúndez scored in the 31st and 37th minutes, respectively.
