Match

Los Angeles Football Club through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over Philadelphia Union, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings

Heung-Min Son scores twice — 8.51

Two goals and a mark of 8.51 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Amin Boudri takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Player ratings

Amin Boudri, 21, steals the show — 8.17

Marked 8.17 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Match

Los Angeles Football Club make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Los Angeles Football Club have 4 straight wins of it.

Squad

Hugo Lloris in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Los Angeles Football Club this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Amin Boudri among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Amin Boudri on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Los Angeles Football Club and Real Salt Lake.

Match

Amin Boudri sends Los Angeles Football Club past Real Salt Lake

It finished 4‑2, and it was Amin Boudri’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Los Angeles Football Club.

Squad

Igor Jesus wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Los Angeles Football Club know it.

Match

Los Angeles Football Club tear Seattle Sounders apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑1 against Seattle Sounders, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

A brace, and Heung-Min Son takes the afternoon — 9.52

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Heung-Min Son provided it, and the 9.52 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Jacob Shaffelburg beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 29. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market

Denis Bouanga wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Los Angeles Football Club hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

Hugo Lloris stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Hugo Lloris and Los Angeles Football Club agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Hugo Lloris retires from international football

“145 caps. I have loved every one, and it is somebody else’s turn.” At 39 he has stepped away from his country and is going nowhere at Los Angeles Football Club.

Squad

Denis Bouanga in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Los Angeles Football Club this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Igor Jesus wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

Words at Los Angeles Football Club training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sergi Palencia is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

In brief
