“LAFC make a double change, bringing on Hosei Kijima and Jude Terry in search of a breakthrough as the visitors continue to dominate territory without finding a way through.”
“DC United respond with a substitution of their own, introducing Tyler Boyd to add fresh legs and pace to their counter-attacking threat.”

Outstanding performance
Los Angeles FC•GoalkeeperLAFC dominated the ball for long stretches, racking up 61% possession and 636 passes to DC United's 401, but struggled to turn that control into clear-cut chances, managing just one shot on target compared to DC United's four. DC United sat deeper and looked to hit on the counter, generating three big chances of their own despite conceding territory throughout. The visitors created more corners and dangerous attacks but were repeatedly denied by a resolute home defense, while DC United goalkeeper work and last-ditch defending kept the scoreline blank. A flurry of late substitutions from both sides failed to change the pattern, and the match petered out with Rene Weiler's booking for dissent the only moment of real heat in a tense, goalless finish that leaves both teams to regroup before their next fixtures.
