What happened in Week 2, featuring LAFC overreactions, Vancouver’s ideal game and Atlanta’s unheralded player of the week:
LAFC, passing and moving
Two in-conference away games, two big wins for LAFC. They followed up their 1-0 victory in Seattle on opening weekend with a 5-1 decimation of Real Salt Lake on Saturday, shocking the league as they jumped out to the best start in MLS expansion team history.
Carlos Vela and Benny Feilhaber had a goal and an assist. Steven Beitashour added two helpers from right-back. Latif Blessing scored and Marco Urena had a helper. Diego Rossi had, wait for it, two goals and three assists in his second MLS game, a week after scoring the first goal in club history.
