All the hype pre-game was on Gyasi Zardes returning to his old stomping grounds, but it was Ola Kamara’s 42nd minute strike that kicked off a comprehensive victory over the Columbus Crew Saturday night at the StubHub Center.
LA’s first chance came in the 17th minute when Giovani dos Santos got on the end of a Ola Kamara flick on, but after waiting for the ball to cross his body Gio sliced his shot wide.
Minutes later a Eduardo Sosa shot from close range just missed the target, reminding LA of the Crew’s attacking threat.
