Mark Delgado, Son Heung-Min, Hugo Lloris lead LAFC to 2-0 victory over Dynamo
HOUSTON (AP) --- Mark Delgado had a goal and an assist, Son Heung-Min had two
assists and Hugo Lloris posted a second straight clean sheet to help Los
Angeles FC beat Houston 2-0 on Saturday night after the Dynamo lost two players
to red cards.
Houston defender Antnio Carlos was tagged with a red card in the second minute
of stoppage time in a scoreless first half, forcing the Dynamo to play a man
down from there.
LAFC (2-0-0) took advantage in the 56th minute when Delgado used assists from
Son and Denis Bouanga to score. Delgado scored for the 26th time in 345 career
appearances. Bouanga's second assist in as many matches gives him 22 in 103
career appearances. None of Bouanga's 66 goals have come against Houston ---
the only team he has not scored on.
Stephen Eustquio scored for the first time in his second league appearance to
give LAFC an insurance goal in the 82nd minute --- six minutes after Agustn
Bouzat was hit with a red card that left Houston two men down. Son notched his
third assist this season, giving him six in 12 career appearances. Delgado
picked up his first assist this season and the 44th of his career.
Hugo Lloris totaled two saves in his second straight clean sheet to begin the
season for LAFC. Lloris and LAFC opened with a 3-0 victory over defending MLS
Cup champion Inter Miami at home.
Jonathan Bond stopped four shots for the Dynamo (1-1-0), who were coming off a
season-opening 2-1 victory over the visiting Chicago Fire.
LAFC earns its first victory in Houston since July 12, 2019 and leads the
all-time series 8-5-5. Coach Marc Dos Santos has the club off to a 4-0 start
--- over a 12-day span --- in all competitions for the first time after posting
a pair of CONCACAF Champions Cup victories over Real Espaa by a combined score
of 7-1 to reach the Round of 16.
