LAFC’s second-half dominance continued, with help from a reliable bench performance.
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Football Club maintained its second half dominance in 2022, netting a pair of goals after the hour mark to complete a 2-0 matinee win over the New York Red Bulls.
Goals by Cristian Aranago and Diego Palacios added three points to LAFC’s lead in the Supporters’ Shield standings, and improved their record against Eastern conference teams to 5-0-1 on the season. LAFC absorbed New York’s high-press in the opening half following a noon kickoff at Banc of California Stadium, in large part to the decisive play of center back Jesus Murillo, who repeatedly snuffed out attacks.
When the Red Bulls managed to target the ball on goal, the visitors did not ask much of LAFC goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau, who finished with four saves on the day. The one time LAFC got off a quality shot in the first 45 minutes, Red Bulls Brazilian goalkeeper Carlos Coronel reacted well to a Franco Escobar blast inside the box, parrying the rising shot with his left hand.Stepping onto the field following the hour mark, Arango in particular changed the complexion of LAFC’s attack.
