LOS ANGELES ā Jude Terry and Armindo Sieb scored the goals as Los Angeles FC defeated the New York Red Bulls 2-0 on Wednesday night at BMO Stadium, ending a six-game winless streak in MLS regular-season play.
Seventeen-year-old homegrown midfielder Jude Terry opened the scoring in the 21st minute. Son Heung-min cut inside, drove toward the end line, and forced a near-post save from Red Bulls goalkeeper Ethan Horvath. Terry reacted first and tapped home the rebound from the top of the penalty area for a 1-0 lead.
Sieb, the 23-year-old forward signed from Bayern Munich in mid-August, entered as a second-half substitute for Jacob Shaffelburg in the 60th minute. In the sixth minute of stoppage time (90+6), he finished a left-footed shot from outside the box into the top corner, assisted by Ryan Hollingshead, to seal the result. It was Siebās first MLS goal after making his club debut in a 2-2 draw at Real Salt Lake the previous weekend.
Hugo Lloris recorded his league-leading 12th shutout of the season with a single save. LAFC improved to 11-7-7 and remained perfect when scoring first this year (11-0-2). The Red Bulls fell to 7-11-6 and extended their own winless run to six matches.
The result gave LAFC a much-needed boost at home as the season enters its final stretch. Terryās poise as a teenager and Siebās clinical late strike provided the decisive moments on a night when the Black and Gold controlled the key attacking sequences.
