The 33-year-old fullback entered the match on the left side in the 61st minute when LAFC made a series of changes, including to its formation, adjusting from a 5-2-3 to a 4-3-3 to make space and find a goal against New York, which kept the Black & Gold quiet through much of the first hour.

Ryan Hollingshead scored in the 86th minute as Los Angeles FC remained perfect two games into the season with a 1-0 victory over visiting New York City FC on Saturday.

The Black & Gold have yet to beat NYCFC, which they haven’t played in five years going into Saturday night’s game at BMO Stadium.
