Los Angeles Football Club: Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) began its 2026 MLS regular season with a 3-0 win over Inter Miami CF in the second-highest attended game in MLS history and the highest attended opening weekend game in league annals.

With 75,673 watching firsthand inside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Black & Gold forwards David Martínez (38'), Denis Bouanga (73'), and Nathan Ordaz (90+4') scored for the home side, securing LAFC's ninth win in a regular-season opener in its nine seasons of play in MLS, extending its league record for consecutive wins in season openers (9W-0L-0D).

The highly anticipated matchup of reigning MLS MVP Lionel Messi against LAFC’s global star Son Heung-Min evolved into a story of LAFC’s multi-pronged attacking pressure dismantling a Miami defense that included several new faces and was playing its first competitive match of 2026, LAFC reports.
