Kwadwo Opoku scored late in the first half and Ismael Tajouri-Shradi added an insurance goal in the second half to propel Los Angeles FC to a 2-0 victory over Inter Miami FC in MLS play on Saturday.

Neither team managed a shot on goal in the first 40 minutes of a match played in gale-force winds and pouring rain. Opoku's goal came in the 45th minute and two minutes later Miami's Brek Shea drew a red card to thoroughly swing momentum in L.A.'s favor.
