Jude Terry and Armindo Sieb score goals, LAFC beats Red Bulls 2-0 to snap
winless streak
LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Jude Terry and Armindo Sieb each scored a goal, Hugo
Lloris had his MLS-leading 12th shutout this season, and Los Angeles FC beat
the New York Red Bulls 2-0 on Wednesday night to snap a six-game winless streak.
The Red Bulls (7-11-6) are winless in six straight dating to a 3-2 home victory
over Orlando on Aug. 1.
Lloris finished with one save for LAFC (11-7-7).
Son Heung-min cut back to evade a defender, darted toward the end line past
another and then fired a shot from the left side of the area that was parried
by goalkeeper Ethan Horvath at the near post. Terry, a 17-year-old homegrown,
tapped in a first-touch putback from the top of the penalty box in the 21st
minute.
Sieb subbed on for Jacob Shaffelburg in the 60th minute and his first MLS goal
capped the scoring in the sixth minute of stoppage time. The 23-year-old
forward, acquired Aug. 13 from Bayern Munich of the Bundesliga, made his debut
for LAFC in a 2-2 tie at Real Salt Lake on Saturday.
Los Angeles is 11-0-2 this season it scores first.
Dennis Nelich and Sekou Kone, who were added earlier Wednesday from Red Bull
New York II, made their MLS debuts. Kone came on for the Red Bulls in the 33rd
minute when 17-year-old midfielder Adri Mehmeti went off due to an apparent leg
injury.
New York had 57% possession but was outshot 15-8, 8-1 on target.
Horvath had six saves, including three in the closing minutes of the first half.
