Terry and Sieb shine as LAFC dominate New York Red Bulls to end winless run
LOS ANGELES -- For the first time in weeks, LAFC did not have to spend the final minutes wondering how another lead was going to disappear.
LAFC secured a 2-0 victory over the New York Red Bulls in a crucial MLS match on Wednesday night, ending a six-game winless streak. The result marks LAFC's 13th clean sheet of the season and sets a new club record. Coach Marc Dos Santos praised his defense for its performance, noting that they limited New York to eight shots and only one on target.
Jude Terry put LAFC ahead in the 21st minute, capitalizing on a saved shot by Son Heung-Min, while Armindo Sieb scored the winning goal in stoppage time with his first MLS goal. Teenager Terry, who has now scored twice this season, is being encouraged to develop further both offensively and defensively. Meanwhile, Jesus, who returned from a knee injury, found his first goal of the season meaningful as he got back onto the pitch.
With more players expected to return, LAFC now has three consecutive road matches ahead as they aim to capitalize on their newfound consistency.
