Galaxy extend MLS-record winless streak with 7-0 road loss to Red Bulls
The Galaxy (0-9-3) have gone an MLS-record 12 consecutive games without a win to start the season. Their last MLS win was a 2-1 victory over the Red Bulls on Dec. 7 to claim the 2024 MLS Cup title.
New York tied the club mark for goals in a game, set in 2016 against New York City FC.
Forsberg joined Antony De Avila (July 13, 1997) as the only players in Red Bulls history with multiple goals and assists in an MLS game.
The Galaxy played without stars Joseph Paintsil and Gabriel Pec and coach Greg Vanney conceded little went right during the match.
Choupo-Moting opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a rolling shot from the right-center of the area that slipped inside the back post into the side-net. The 36-year-old in his first MLS season put away a feed from Forsberg to make it 3-0 in the 31st minute, his first multi-goal game for New York (5-4-3).
Omar Valencia played a ball ahead to Forsberg, who slipped behind the defense and beat goalkeeper John McCarthy one on one to give New York a 2-0 lead in the 16th. His free kick from 30 yards out slipped under the crossbar to make it 4-0 in the 50th minute.
Cameron Harper came on in the 67th and scored his first goal of the season in the 68th, Dennis Gjengaar made it 6-0 in the 88th minute and an own goal on LA's Miki Yamane capped the scoring in the third minute of stoppage time.
'I don't know if it's an effort issue,' Vanney said. 'At times when you give up goals like that, it can be a little bit of confidence, uncertainty. I thought we were reactive maybe at times where you try to adapt and play into a different structure and your decisions become different.'
Vanney went on to say the Galaxy would 'try to get back to the things we do best and get healthy and get guys going and try to build upward. Let's hope this is the rock bottom part.'
Galaxy forward Christian Ramirez opened the news conference with a statement addressing the lopsided score.
'I want to apologize to the traveling supporters for today's performance,' he said. 'And just because we know they spent their hard-earned money to travel across country, and just it wasn't good enough from us top to bottom.'

Knicks Given Massive Prediction on Playoff Future
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After suffering through some 20 years of ineptitude, the New York Knicks have been gradually building a winning team over the last few years. Now, they seem to have a clear opportunity to do something special this coming season. With Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum out for the season due to a torn Achilles (one he suffered versus the Knicks in the 2025 playoffs) and Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton also out for the year because of a similar injury, the field in the Eastern Conference is almost wide open for the Knicks. The Cleveland Cavaliers remain in the way, but New York seems to be clearly better than the rest of the pack right now. Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report just gave the over/under for wins and predicted win totals for all 30 NBA teams in a recent article. The Knicks' over/under is at 53.5 wins, and the only East team with a higher figure is the Cavaliers. Overall, only three NBA teams were given a higher over/under than New York in this piece. "Every member of the New York Knicks lineup that led (by a massive margin) the league in total minutes last season (Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns) is back," Bailey wrote. "That alone should have Knicks fans encouraged about the possibility of a second straight 50-win season, but that's not all. "New York also added Guerschon Yabusele and Jordan Clarkson to a bench that includes Mitchell Robinson. That should lead to meaningful improvement over last season's second unit."

More Photo byRead more: ESPN Personality Calls Out Knicks Star Karl-Anthony Towns Last season, New York went 51-31, but Bailey picked the team to once again win 51 regular-season games. However, his reasons for that prediction aren't necessarily negative. "So, why are the Knicks predicted to finish below their over-under this season? "Well, think back to caveat in the intro. There are only so many wins to go around, and being higher than consensus on one team might mean shaving a win or two off other teams. "That and what feels like a small likelihood of New York being as healthy as it was last season made the Knicks one of the victims of the finite leaguewide win total." As Bailey pointed out, the Knicks have a somewhat deeper bench for this season. Clarkson isn't an efficient shooter, but he did average 16.2 points a game last season, which was around his career average in scoring. Yabusele, a wide-bodied 6-foot-8 29-year-old who can play the 4 and 5 spots, put up 11.0 points on 50.1% from the field and 38% from 3-point range, 5.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 27.1 minutes a game. Backup guard Miles McBride, who has been a spark plug over the last couple of years, remains on the roster. Read more: Former NBA Star Throws Shade at Rockets' Kevin Durant The onus seems to be on All-Star big man Karl-Anthony Towns to raise his game. While he was at 24.4 points and 12.8 rebounds a game last season, many are disappointed with his lack of defense, both around the rim and on the perimeter. The Knicks have a new head coach in Mike Brown, who has always been known as a defensive mastermind but has also kept up with the NBA's offensive evolution in recent years. All eyes across the Tri-State area will also be on him as the team attempts to win its first world championship since 1973. For more on the Knicks and general NBA news, head over to Newsweek Sports.

Jets CB Michael Carter is peaking at the right time
New York Jets cornerback Michael Carter II had an uneven 2024 season. The 2021 fifth-round selection battled multiple injuries last year. Carter missed two midseason contests due to a back injury. He suffered a setback with that injury later in the season, missing two more games. Carter is back healthy and peaking at the right time. The Jets signed Carter to a three–year, $30.75 million contract extension that last September that included $13.61 million guaranteed at signing, making him the highest-paid nickel corner at the time. In Week 2 of the preseason, Carter made an instant impact that proves the Jets are fortunate to have him back healthy. Carter played just four defensive snaps versus the Giants. Though the sample size deserves consideration, Pro Football Focus assigned him an elite defensive grade of 90.4 for his showing. On a third-and-5 in the second quarter, Giants quarterback Russell Wilson completed a swing pass to Devin Singletary. Carter made this outstanding wrap-up tackle to force a punt: The Jets have Sauce Gardner and offseason addition Brandon Stephens at boundary cornerback. Carter is an elite nickel corner who helps complete the Jets defense. In just four plays, Carter reminded the fanbase of his effectiveness.
