The game takes place at Alejandro Morera Soto Stadium in Alajuela, Costa Rica. Los Angeles FC secured a 2-0 victory over St. Louis City in a crucial MLS match on Saturday, with Mathieu Choiniere scoring both goals and Hugo Lloris recording his fourth consecutive shutout. Choiniere, in his ninth MLS season, opened the scoring in the 73rd minute by slipping a rolling shot inside the left post after intercepting a pass near midfield. He added a second goal in the 81st minute, bending a shot between the legs of defender Timo Baumgartl and into the left post. Lloris, 39, made four saves for LAFC, which has outscored its opponents 8-0 this season. The goalkeeper joined Roman Bürki (St. Louis, 2025) as the only MLS players to achieve four straight shutouts to start a season. St. Louis City’s goalkeeper Bürki made three saves, while LAFC’s Denis Bouanga hit the crossbar early in the match, and Nate Ordaz’s shot from the center of the area bounced off the right post. Both teams wore black armbands with “IL” in white lettering to honor Ilona Löwen, the wife of St. Louis City’s Eduard Löwen, who passed away after a two-year battle with brain cancer. Eduard Löwen, who joined St. Louis as a designated player in 2022, has not played this season. The result highlights LAFC’s dominance in the early stages of the 2026 MLS season, with the team maintaining an undefeated record at 4-0-0.#concacaf_champions_cup #alajuelense #la_fc #alejandro_morera_soto_stadium #mathieu_choiniere
