Match Story — LAFC 2, New England 0
Pitch: Gillette Stadium — Saturday, August 16, 2025
A brisk evening greeted the crowd of 27,043 souls at Foxborough as Los Angeles FC invaded New England’s fortress, aiming to further their upward climb in the MLS standings. The Revolution looked to capitalize on home advantage—but LAFC had other plans.
The Tension of a Goalless First Half
Both sides went into halftime deadlocked at 0–0, despite probing attacks and flashes of ingenuity. Nothing stuck, nothing broke, and the scoreline stubbornly remained even.
Delgado Breaks the Seat
As the second half surged, Mark Delgado pounced on a slick assist from newcomer Son Heung-Min—another rising story for LAFC—finishing coolly to open the scoring. It was Delgado’s third goal of the season, and the assist marked Son’s first in just his second match since arriving from the English Premier League.
With that stroke of brilliance, LAFC seized momentum and gripped the contest.
Lloris: The Guardian of Clean Sheets
Between the posts, Hugo Lloris stood tall—his five saves ensuring LAFC’s ninth clean sheet of the season. His composed performance fortified the lead and kept the Revolution off the scoreboard.
Choinière Cements the Win — 90+4′
On came Mathieu Choinière, replacing Delgado in the 79th minute. In the fourth minute of stoppage time, the Canadian midfielder found space and delivered a composed finish to seal a 2–0 win—a finishing flourish that doubled the tally and underscored his impact in just his second appearance for LAFC.
Scene-Stealing Sequence
First Half: Tactical chess, no goals.
51′: Delgado connects with Son’s first assist—1–0, LAFC leads.
Lloris: Brings defensive calm with nine clean sheets.
90+4′: Choinière, off the bench, buries the second—2–0 final.
Final Whistle & Reflection
LAFC left Massachusetts not just with three points, but with swagger. Delgado opened the door; Choinière slammed it shut. Lloris, ever dependable, ensured the Revolution never peered inside.
This performance captures a team blending new acquisitions (Son, Delgado) with strategic depth and emerging talent (like Choinière). LAFC now stands at 11–6–7, sitting comfortably atop their formline, while New England falls to 7–12–7.
