Defenders Tomas Totland, Rafael Santos power St. Louis City to first victory
over LAFC, 2-1
ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Tomas Totland scored four minutes into the match and fellow
defender Rafael Santos added a second-half goal to help St. Louis City beat Los
Angeles FC for the first time, 2-1 on Wednesday night.
Totland used assists from Eduard Lwen and Marcel Hartel to find the net for
the first time this season and the third time in 55 career appearances. It was
the first assist of the campaign for Lwen and the second for Hartel.
Santos added an unassisted goal in the 64th minute. It was his first score this
season and his fourth in 92 career matches. Santos entered the match in the
10th minute for an injured Jaziel Orozco.
David Martnez entered the match in the 70th minute and scored in the 73rd to
cut it to 2-1. Nkosi Tafari and defender Aaron Long set up Martnez's fourth
goal this season and his 11th in 58 appearances.
Roman Brki finished with three saves for St. Louis City (3-6-3), which entered
the match 0-5-2 all time against LAFC.
Hugo Lloris did not have a save for LAFC (6-4-3). He leads the league with
eight clean sheets in 11 starts.
Mathieu Choinire scored his only two goals of the season --- both from long
range --- to lead LAFC to a 2-0 victory over St. Louis City on March 14.
St. Louis City had scored just 10 goals in its first 11 matches under coach
Yoann Damet, second fewest in the league.
