Mark Delgado

Scores opener against former club

Delgado scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and three chances created in Friday's 3-0 victory versus Los Angeles Galaxy.

Analysis: Delgado opened the scoring in the 26th minute of Friday's win in El Trafico, tapping home a rebound after his own headed attempt off Jacob Shaffelburg's cross deflected off Jakob Glesnes and fell to him at close range, with Friday's goal his first against his former club. He played all 90 minutes, marking his 358th regular-season MLS appearance and moving him into 24th place in league history, winning four of his seven duels and making two interceptions in central midfield. Delgado also provided the assist for Son Heung-Min's goal in the second half and his all-around performance gave LAFC the defensive and creative foundation needed to see out a first El Trafico win of the season.
