LA FC made their MLS debut in style by beating Seattle Sounders 1-0 away from home. The hosts played a weakened side without Clint Dempsey with the CONCACAF Champions League match against Chivas Guadalaraja looming.It just took 11 minutes before Carlos Vela unlocked the defence with a no-look pass, setting up Diego Rossi for a screamer, which proved to be enough to clinch the win.
