Market

Los Angeles Football Club turn down Braga for Denis Bouanga

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings

Heung-Min Son, 34, rolls back the years — 8.29

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.29 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Boardroom

Heung-Min Son signs for LA Galaxy while still at Los Angeles Football Club

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Heung-Min Son has agreed terms with LA Galaxy for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Sergi Palencia signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Sergi Palencia commits to Los Angeles Football Club for another 4 years.

Squad

Heung-Min Son 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

Heung-Min Son the difference as Los Angeles Football Club beat Real Salt Lake

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Heung-Min Son. 2‑1 against Real Salt Lake, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

No hiding place for Sergi Palencia

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sergi Palencia, and the manager let it.

The terraces

Los Angeles Football Club supporters have found a favourite in Armindo Sieb

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Armindo Sieb has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

In brief
