Real Salt Lake dropped all three points in a game that saw one red card, seven yellow cards, and a game-winning goal halfway through stoppage time. Walker Zimmerman’s late-game heroics gave Los Angeles FC the 2-1 win, and the revenge on RSL they were looking for.
Forced to field a less-than-ideal lineup due to call-ups, suspensions, and injuries, tonight’s game saw Petke putting out names like Tate Schmitt, Erik Holt, and Donny Toia while Brooks Lennon moved up to the right wing in lieu of the suspended Jefferson Savarino.
As expected, LAFC controlled the majority of possession for the first part of the game, having a few decent chances, which included a great save by Nick Rimando to keep the game deadlocked at 0-0 early on.
