LAFC took control early and carried a 2-0 lead over El Salvador into halftime at BMO Stadium. Delgado opened the scoring in the opening minutes, and Jeremy Ebobisse added the second goal late in the first half.
Delgado Opens the Scoreline
The first goal came during the opening minutes, when Delgado put LAFC ahead 1-0. That set the tone for a match in which Los Angeles FC stayed organized across the field and kept El Salvador from settling in defensively.
By 20 minutes, El Salvador was using the friendly to gain match rhythm and improve chemistry ahead of upcoming challenges. The setup made the game less about the scoreline alone and more about how the two sides used the first half to test structure and pace.
Ebobisse Doubles the Lead
After 30 minutes, LAFC remained in control, and the pressure turned into a second goal in the closing minutes of the first half. Jeremy Ebobisse finished the move to make it 2-0, giving LAFC a cushion before the break.
That sequence also fit the wider pattern of the half: El Salvador was trying to respond, but LAFC kept its shape and limited the openings that would have allowed the visitors to change the game before halftime.
LAFC Depth at BMO Stadium
The friendly also offered a look at LAFC without several key players from its regular first-team squad. Even with those absences, the side still produced two first-half goals and controlled the match long enough to enter halftime with a clear edge.
El Salvador began the second half with a more attacking approach, but LAFC’s organization from the first half gave it a firm base going into the rest of the match. For a preseason game with no official implications, the scoreline and the manner of the lead were the clearest signs of where the match stood at the break.
