The third day of Major League Soccer did not go well at all for the Los Angeles FC. The team of Olivier Giroud and Hugo Lloris went to lose in large widths on the side of Seattle (5-2). Facing the Sounders, visitors have long resisted before losing ground in the last quarter of an hour of the game. This is the first defeat of the season for Los Angeles which is fifth in the ranking, three points from the leader, the Vancouver Whitecaps.
It was without Hugo Lloris that the LAFC made the trip to the state of Washington to face a team which nevertheless seemed within its reach. After a draw and a defeat, Seattle did not display a very bright state of form, with only two goals scored for four conceded during the first two days. But the Sounders therefore woke up against Olivier Giroud and his band.
Giroud still silent in the league
If the first period was balanced with a goal on each side, everything has changed during the second act. In the space of half an hour, the locals will knocked out their opponents by scoring three goals. And when Los Angeles will react again by reducing the gap, Seattle will put a layer to resume three lengths in advance and endow a wide success (5-2), the first of his season.
For his part, Olivier Giroud was established and played the whole meeting. Unfortunately for him and his team, the 2018 world champion remained silent. The tricolor center forward has still not scored in three championship games. He will try to be more to his advantage in three days against Columbus Crew, this time in the framework of the knockout stages of the Concacaf Champions.
