Los Angeles – Lucky Number 7?
If the Major League soccer is an indication of the seventh season of the Los Angeles Football Club, it can happen.
LAFC won a league-ridden seventh season-opening win against the opponent of its Western conference, sending 2–1 to the seital sounders in an afternoon match at the BMO Stadium.
The first LAFC goal of the year went to the midfielder Timothy Tilman, who saw a loffed cross from the new Fullback Omar Campos inside the nearby post just before the halftime.
Mateusz Bogusz, Dennis Buunga and Christian Olivera began in the midst of an attack, while LAFC continued to talk with free agent Carlos Vela, collapsing in the second goal of Black and Gold, 10 minutes after the break.
Soundlers returned to the game with less than half an hour to go after reviewing a video in the LAFC box by Defender Aaron Long on the compatriot Jordan Morris of their US Mains National Team.
Long chased a Morris breakway and proceeded in front of the new LAFC goalkeeper Hugo Loris.
The season was closed to start the season with members of the professional Football Referee Association, replacement official Wesley Costa pointed to the spot, where the latest nominated player signature of Seattle, Argentine’s midfielder Pedro de La Vega, turned in the wrong direction by sending Loris in the wrong direction.
Loris’s first savings with LAFC, the captain of the French team, which won the 2018 World Cup, came in the third minute. From the conclusion of the match, Loris made seven savings, including six -minute stoppage time.
In three meetings last year, LAFC scorched Seattle, took a 1-0 win pair to go with a scorer draw.
Saturday’s result pushed the unbeaten streak of black and gold against its division rivals – you estimated – seven.
Overall, LAFC improved 10–5–4 against the sounders, and is 7–1-1 against them on their own turf, a luxurious green canvas in front of the declared mob of 22,214 on the day of the inauguration.
Seattle opened the season with several leading contributors.
A bad hamstring meant that veteran goalkeeper Stephen Freei, who played the most matches in the history of sounders, was replaced by Andrew Thomas, starting MLS with a three-time all-pack 12 first-team selection in Stanford.
FREI was one of the three players, as well as midfielder Joao Paulo (left hip) and defender Gomez, 30 for Seattle or regular-season performance last season, who did not suit to start a 2024 campaign.
Despite the news of Friday, LAFC’s depth was not almost as much as the 19 -year -old Lorenzo Delwell at the 19 -year -old Center recalled the season after tearing ACL in his right knee during a closed -door Presiden match against Charlotte in early February.
For another young LAFC defender, 21 -year -old Campos, his well -aid assistance played a strong first half to the left, where Diego Palasios patrolled in the last four years.
Most of the Campos’s successes occurred at the defensive end, where he and the team’s partner – especially midfielders Eduard Atusta, who started their comeback after playing in the last two sessions in Brazil, and Ili Sanchaz – each in and around the LAFC box, which disrupts the attacks of potential sounders.
At the other end of the pitch, Buanga, last year’s Golden Boot winner was kept away from the scorchheet, causing a pair of shots from the crossbar.
