Many were sad to see Tyler Miller go when Los Angeles Football Club selected him from the Seattle Sounders with the first of its five picks in the 2017 Expansion Draft. In LAFC’s first official match Sunday, Miller proved why, putting in a stellar performance that turned the tide and kept Seattle off the scoresheet in a rare home loss for the Sounders.
Miller, who was limited to two professional games in two years behind Stefan Frei in Seattle, made a strong case with his play that the starting spot in LA should belong to him and him alone.
