Eustáquio has a goal and two assists in his first three MLS matches. Palencia's assist was his first this season and ninth in 86 career matches.

Lloris finished with five saves for LAFC (3-0-0) -- off to the best start in its nine-year history with a fifth straight victory in all competitions to begin the season. The club also won its first three league matches for the first time while outscoring its opponents 6-0.
