Real Salt Lake 0 at LAFC 2 Man of the Match: Andrew Putna came on at halftime to make his MLS debut with a potent LAFC attack in front of him and the club’s raucous supporter group behind him. While it may not have been the ideal circumstances to be thrust into in his first MLS match, he handled the situation with aplomb. He finished the match with four saves to keep LAFC from extending its first half lead – keeping RSL in the match through the final 45 minutes.
