ANALYSIS

He also chipped in two clearances and three tackles across a full 90 minute shift, standing out as LAFC's steadiest presence at the back while winning two of his three aerial duels against a St. Louis front line that kept the pressure on all game. Tafari has now started 12 of his 13 MLS appearances this season, with this assist marking his first goal contribution of the campaign.
