Fires five shots in draw
Sieb registered five shots (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Analysis: Sieb recorded five shots, putting one on target, while adding three crosses, two accurate, one corner and one interception across 86 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Vancouver. He was heavily involved in LAFC's attacking pressure against 10-man Vancouver, but Yohei Takaoka and the Whitecaps' compact defense prevented him from finding the breakthrough. Sieb's five attempts were a strong volume return, though the lack of a goal or assist limited the fantasy payoff from an otherwise active performance.
Goal ruled out by VAR in defeat
Sieb registered two shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus FC Dallas. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 23rd minute.
Analysis: Sieb appeared to equalize in the 73rd minute but had his goal disallowed after VAR adjudged him to have interfered with Jonathan Sirois in the buildup, registering two shots including one on goal, three accurate crosses and one interception across 90 minutes as one of LAFC's most active contributors in the absence of their six internationals. He was also directly involved in Sergi Palencia's late bicycle kick attempt that Sirois saved to preserve Dallas's 1-0 lead. Sieb has now started three consecutive MLS matches for LAFC and figures to keep his spot on the right wing for the Black and Gold.
Scores first goal for LAFC
Sieb scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 2-0 win against New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Sieb made his second appearance for LAFC, coming off the bench to score his first goal for the club in 30 minutes of action. Formerly with Bayern Munich, he never made an official appearance for the first team and spent the last two seasons with Mainz in the Bundesliga, where he struggled to secure a consistent role. Across his Bundesliga career, he recorded four goals and two assists.
Signs with LAFC
Sieb has completed a transfer to LAFC from Bayern Munich, according to his former club.
Analysis: Sieb is off from Bayern Munich after a few years of loan with Mainz and ultimately struggling to find a role in the club, with the forward off to the US to join LAFC. He never earned a first-team appearance in league play with Munich, only starting eight times in his 49 appearances in Bundesliga play with Mainz, adding four goals and two assists. That said, his talent may not have been fit for the European stage at age 23, although he could make a decent name for himself in America. He may struggle to find a spot between Son Heung-Min, Denis Bouanga and David Martinez in the attack, likely to be more of a rotational option to begin.
Rejoins Bayern after Mainz loan
Sieb has concluded his loan spell at Mainz, returning to Bayern Munich ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Analysis: Sieb saw limited action in a secondary role last season, with his two league goals coming early in the campaign. He did find the back of the net in March during one of his seven matches played in the Conference League. Still, he seems unlikely to take on a large responsibility for the defending Bundesliga champions in the near future.
