– LAFC had an opportunity to enter the break up by one goal but a huge clearance from Logan Ndenbe kept Sporting KC alive.
– Goalkeeper Max Crepeau made a Sporting player look foolish in the first half with an excellent display of his skilled feet.
– Bale subbed on in place of Kwadwo Opoku in minute 65.
– Carlos Vela left the field shortly after and gave the reigns of the team to Bale, who promptly netted his first MLS goal.
– Bale’s goal came in the 82nd minute and he nearly scored a brace but his effort to chip the goalie went slightly right.
– LAFC remain in first place of the entire league and Sporting KC remain in the basement.
