Will LAFC's decent start to the season continue?

In week one, the Black and Gold enjoyed a vintage and statement victory, hammering last season's best of the west Colorado Rapids 3-0.

Carlos Vela with a 21 minutes hat-trick either side of half time.

However, in last Sunday night's big game against Portland, everything seemed to be going wrong for the hosts at Banc of California Stadium.

The Timbers took the lead, thanks to a spectacular overhead kick, before Vela was withdrawn injured at half time.

Nevertheless, in the 93rd minute, LAFC snatched a point with Brian Rodríguez's cross turned in from close-range by Mamadou Fal.

This means Steve Cherundolo's side sit third in the Western Conference and they'll be more than expecting to add three points to their tally in Florida.

That's largely because Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami were abysmal last weekend.

The Herons, in truth, were hopeless last Sunday as they were smashed 5-1 by last year's expansion clubs Austin FC at Q2 Stadium.

Phil Neville's side do actually have a point on the board, having held Chicago Fire to a goalless draw in Fort Lauderdale on week one.

But, next weekend's trip to FC Cincinnati already looks like being a basement battle just four rounds into the season.

Anything other than an away win at DRV PNK Stadium would be a major surprise.
