LAFC extended its unbeaten streak to eight games with a 2-2 tie against CF Montréal at Stade Saputo on Saturday night. Mark Delgado and Olivier Giroud both scored for the Black & Gold to secure a point on the road. LAFC is now 6W-4L-5D on the season and 3W-0L-5D in its last eight matches.
Montréal opened the scoring early with a goal from Giacomo Vironi in the fifth minute. After a Prince Owusu shot rebounded off the LAFC defense, Vironi collected the ball in the box and placed a left-footed shot inside the back post of LAFC’s goal.
Owusu doubled the lead for Montréal in the 22nd minute after converting a penalty kick.
Delgado cut the Black & Gold’s deficit in half when he finished off a cross from Nathan Ordaz in the 38th minute. Sergi Palencia slipped the ball out to Ordaz on the right side, where the homegrown forward perfectly placed the ball in Montréal’s box for Delgado to hit a powerful shot that Montréal keeper Jonathan Sirois could not keep out of the net.
The score remained 2-1 until the 77th minute when Giroud scored the equalizer for LAFC five minutes after coming on as a substitute. Fellow second-half sub Cengiz Ünder hit a cross from the right side into the Montréal box, which rebounded off a defender into the feet of Giroud, who was able to calmly place the ball into the net, sealing the 2-2 draw.
A rebroadcast of tonight’s match will be available on Tuesday, May 27, at 5:30 p.m. PT on FOX 11 Plus (KCOP-TV Ch. 13).
