After his great performance against Colorado Rapids, Carlos Vela was included in the ideal XI of the MLS day 1. Other players such as Josef Martínez, Lucas Zelarayán and Yimmi Chará, a member of the Portland Timbers who scored a goal against the New England Revolution last weekend, were included in this lineup. Vela, due to his great performance, was chosen as the player of the week.
In the duel against Colorado Rapids, the LAFC fans showed a tifo in tribute to Mexican singer Vicente Fernández, who passed away in December 2021. This was the process to pay tribute to ‘Chente’.
LAFC Lineup (4-3-3) | Crépeau, Escobar, Murillo, Mbacke Fall, Palacios, Acosta, Ilie, Cifuentes, Opoku, Vela and Rodríguez.
Lineup Portland Timbers (4-4-2) | Ivacic, Van Rankin, McGraw, Tuiloma, Bravo, Moreno, Chará, Paredes, Asprilla, Yimmi Chará and Niezgoda.
LAFC started the season with a Carlos Vela in great shape. The Mexican striker is seeking sporting revenge after failing to live up to expectations last season. The Portland Timbers, on the other hand, are one of the most competitive and well-worked teams in the league. The duel looks to be very even and both teams will demand the maximum.
LAFC 2-1 Portland Timbers
