Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s long-term future remains uncertain but the Galaxy captain knows what he’ll be doing this week: preparing for the MLS Western Conference semifinals. That earns the Galaxy a meeting with crosstown rival LAFC on Thursday at Banc of California Stadium. LAFC, which finished with the league’s best-record record to earn a first-round playoff bye, is winless in five meetings with the Galaxy. Dos Santos added what looked to be an insurance goal four minutes later, bending a right-footed shot by Mannone. On the first, in the 23rd minute, Robin Lod lifted a right-footed shot well over the net from the edge of the six-yard box.
