A good turnout at the Banc of California Stadium welcomed the presence of the stellar Italian player Giorgio Chiellini, who today made his contract with the Southern California team official and who watched from the box the victory of his new teammates.

A very even first half

And with the presence of the legendary former Juventus defender, LAFC took the lead in the 23rd minute when Ecuador's Jose Cifuentes took a great pass that left Danny Musovski in front of Maarten Paes' goal and with a powerful shot he put the score at 1-0.

However, Dallas FC reacted and in a free kick in their favor tied the score, Jesus Ferreira took a high shot, LAFC goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau took a step forward losing the location of the ball and making a serious mistake that prevented him from having the desired location to avoid the goal.

Carlos Vela's talent gave LAFC the victory

After the break, the team coached by Steve Cherundolo took control of the ball and dominated the dangerous attacking plays and took the lead again with a very talented play by Mexican striker Carlos Vela, who received the ball with his back turned and with two touches with his left foot left the Colombian Cristian Arango all alone, who easily scored his ninth goal of the season in the 57th minute.

The match was decided with four minutes to go, when Ghana's Kwadwo Opoku, who had come on as a substitute, received the ball outside the box and took a powerful shot from half distance that entered with great placement on the left side of Paes' goal who, no matter how hard he tried, did not come close to stopping the shot.

LAFC, best team in MLS

With this result, LAFC consolidated its position as the best team in the Western Conference with 36 points, while FC Dallas remained in fourth place with 26 points.
