Halftime - An eventful first half comes to an end with Gressel’s lone goal holding up. LAFC have enjoyed the majority of possession but haven’t really threatened Brad Guzan’s goal. LAFC could’ve had a man sent off after Laurent Ciman seemingly elbowed Josef Martinez in the head, but VAR was not utilized on the play. All’s left to play for in what should be an interesting second half.
17’ - The Five Stripes strike first! Some great play by Michael Parkhurst and Miguel Almiron on the left flank result in a square ball finding Julian Gressel wide open for the easy tap-in.
