LAFC were looking to keep their early season form going strong while doing something they had yet to do as an MLS club, beat NYCFC.

The 33-year-old fullback entered the match on the left side in the 61st minute when LAFC made a series of changes, including to its formation, adjusting from a 5-2-3 to a 4-3-3 to make space and find a goal against New York, which kept the Black & Gold quiet through much of the first hour.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ryan Hollingshead scored a goal in the 86th minute to help Los Angeles FC beat New York City FC 1-0 on Saturday night. On the counter-attack, Hollingshead ran onto a loose ball after a failed clearance attempt by NYCFC and blasted a one-touch shot from the right-center of the box to give Los Angeles a 1-0 lead.
