RSL 3, LAFC 0: Gómez Leads the Way in Blizzard Conditions
Gómez Shines with Two Goals and an Assist
Andrés Gómez was the star of the show for Real Salt Lake as they defeated LAFC 3-0 in their home opener. Gómez scored two goals and added an assist to lead his team to victory in a game played in near-blizzard conditions.
Challenging Weather Conditions
The start of the game was pushed back two hours due to the inclement weather, and there was even a delay of almost an hour due to lightning. LAFC coach Steve Cherundolo was critical of the decision to play the game, stating, “It was an absolute joke we had to play today.”
Gómez’s Standout Performance
First-Half Brace
Gómez opened the scoring in the 18th minute, taking a feed from Cristian Arango and beating keeper Hugo Lloris one-on-one. He then doubled the lead in the 41st minute, receiving a back pass from Diego Luna and sending the ball into the corner.
Assist and Celebration
During first-half extra time, Gómez sent a cross into the box, and Arango redirected the ball into the net. Gómez then made a snow angel to celebrate the goal against his former team, LAFC.
Defensive Dominance
Shutout for RSL
Zac MacMath made six saves for RSL, recording his 61st career shutout. Despite LAFC’s 16-10 edge in shots, the home team’s defense stood firm to secure the victory.
Looking Ahead
LAFC’s Struggles
This loss comes as a disappointment for LAFC, who were finalists in the MLS Cup last season. The team will need to regroup and find a way to bounce back from this setback.
RSL’s Promising Start
Real Salt Lake has now picked up 4 points from their first 3 games, a promising start to the season. With Gómez’s standout performance, the team will be looking to build on this result and continue their strong form.
