From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

LA Galaxy watching Matt Freese

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Los Angeles Football Club have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Eddie Segura falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets

San Diego Football Club tell Los Angeles Football Club: Ian Fray is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match

Los Angeles Football Club get the job done against LA Galaxy

A 2‑0 win over LA Galaxy, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Logan Farrington at his very best

Marked 8.03. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Los Angeles Football Club.

Squad

Philippe Ndinga makes it 100

100 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.

Squad

The formation has left Jalen Neal behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Los Angeles Football Club will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Squad

Mark Johnson signs a new deal

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

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Connor Aaronson kept it short after the 2‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

In brief
