Los Angeles FCBusy defensively Wednesday
Porteous made three interceptions and seven clearances in Wednesday's 3-1 victory versus Real Salt Lake.
Analysis: Porteous made seven clearances and five interceptions in Wednesday's 3-1 win, anchoring LAFC's defensive structure and limiting RSL's best chances in behind throughout a match the visitors had just one shot on target in the first half. He covered effectively whenever Ryan Hollingshead pushed forward at right wing-back, ensuring LAFC were never exposed on the counter despite their high offensive line. Porteous has now gone three consecutive MLS matches without conceding more than one goal as part of LAFC's defensive core.
