Ian Smith

ANALYSIS
Smith delivered an arcing corner in the 45th minute that found Cristhian Paredes, whose glancing header deflected off the post and in to break the deadlock, leaving Hugo Lloris no chance to stop it. He played the full 90 minutes and helped Portland maintain a compact defensive structure when LAFC pushed for a late equalizer. Smith has now contributed one assist and one goal in his first MLS season and continues to impress in his primary full-back role when he gets a chance to play in the starting XI.
