ORLANDO, Fla. — Jonathan dos Santos scored in the 19th minute, David Bingham made six saves for his fourth shutout and the Galaxy beat Orlando City 1-0 on Friday night to end a fourgame losing streak.
The Galaxy (8-5-1) played their second game without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the star forward banned for two games for violent conduct.
Dos Santos had a good run up for a high, hard shot over the crowd after a centering pass was knocked out outside the box by Orlando defender Robin Jansson.
Orlando City had a chance to tie the game after a penalty by dos Santos, but Bingham made a diving save on a spot kick by Nani to deny the score.
“We were under the gun a lot of the game, but we were able to stay organized,” Bingham said.
“We put up a shutout on the road and were able to get three points, which is big for us. Three points is massive on the road.
“We’re not happy with how we played and we shouldn’t be, but at the end of the day we’d rather play bad and pick up three points then play good and lose.”
The Galaxy had a close call in the 67th minute when Bingham misplayed a volleyball. but Perry Kitchen was on the line to clear Kyle Smith’s redirection.
Orlando City (4-7-3) outshot the Galaxy, 19-4.
