Carlos Vela scored the third hat trick of his Major League Soccer career Saturday as Los Angeles Football Club opened the season with a 3-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids.
According to MLS, it is the fifth time a player has scored a hat trick in a team’s opener. The last time was Chicago’s Mike Magee in 2013 against the LA Galaxy.Vela was the league’s Most Valuable Player in 2019 with 34 goals before being limited by injuries; the Mexican standout had just nine goals in 27 appearances the past two seasons.
Possession was even, but LAFC had a 15-7 edge in total shots and 7-1 in shots on goal as Steve Cherundolo won his debut as head coach. Cherundolo replaced Bob Bradley, who went to Toronto after four seasons in LA.Colorado was the Western Conference’s regular-season champion last year, but looked out of sync.
