LAFC’s march towards the MLS Shield hit a rare red light in El Trafico, as the Black and Gold lost 3-2 against its Zlatan Ibrahimovic-inspired local rivals.

Summer wins and losses matter little. There is a long list of current stars who were utter flops in summer appearances, when the games are a bit scattered, the refs are not NBA quality and the competition uneven. But for the Lakers, who have much at stake in the development and production of young players that made up their summer roster, the bunch was decidedly underwhelming.

The European champions - on a club-record equalling run of 34 matches unbeaten in all competitions - have won 10 and drawn four of their 14 domestic outings in 2016-17.
