Los Angeles FC might have been forgiven for stuttering without the likes of Carlos Vela and Marco Ureña but still won 2-0.

The rest of Bob Bradley’s squad stepped up to the occasion and easily dispatched Columbus while limiting Gyasi Zardes.

Freshly back from reserve duty with Belgium’s national team, centre-back Laurent Ciman hit an absolute rocket of a free kick.

Just four minutes later the home team doubled their advantage through forward Adama Diomandé.

The former Hull City striker’s put LA two goals to the good and the hosts never looked troubled.

Columbus Crew managed just a single shot on target even though Zardes has 10 goals to his name in 2018. The visitors appeared to grab one back in the 69th minute but the play was called back for offside.
