Steven Gerrard could not prevent LA Galaxy suffering Open Cup defeat Steven Gerrard could not help prevent his LA Galaxy side from suffering their first Open Cup defeat since 2011 as Real Salt Lake sealed a 1-0 victory to send them through to the semi-finals on Tuesday. The former Liverpool skipper, who starred in the 2-1 win over Mexican giants Club America in the International Champions Cup at the weekend, came on at half-time at the Rio Tinto Stadium in Utah. Gerrard missed a fine opportunity to hand Galaxy the lead with 15 minutes remaining when he exchanged passes with Robbie Keane, but saw his effort sail high over the crossbar.
