After receiving their championship rings, the Black & Gold jump out early for a 3-2 win Saturday at BMO Stadium
For all of its success last season, the Los Angeles Football Club tended to break slow out of the starting gate.
After receiving diamond-clad rings commemorating the championship victory over the Philadelphia Union , head coach Steve Cherundolo’s group did what it wanted by jumping in front of the Portland Timbers and remaining there for a 3-2 victory Saturday afternoon at BMO Stadium. Not long after the banners were unveiled in the rafters Saturday, first-half goals by Giorgio Chiellini and team captain Carlos Vela propelled LAFC on an opening day delayed by last weekend’s inclement weather that pushed back an anticipated debut against the Galaxy at the Rose Bowl.
