Provides assist for opener
Delgado assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus San Jose Earthquakes. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 73rd minute.
Analysis: Delgado played the full 90 minutes and delivered the assist on Son Heung-Min's 34th minute opener, finding Son near the center circle with a precise pass before the South Korean drove at goal and curled his finish inside the post. He registered zero shots and created one additional chance across 90 minutes as LAFC's midfield anchor through 54 minutes of playing with 10 men.
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.
