Hugo Lloris had a very good first match for his MLS debut, during Los Angeles FC’s victory against the Seattle Sounders (2-1).
After more than a decade in England, Hugo Lloris has started a new chapter in his life, probably the last of his playing career, in the United States. And for his big debut in MLS, the French goalkeeper proved that he was far from rusty, having not played a match since April 2023.
Against the Seattle Sounders, Lloris largely contributed to the victory of Los Angeles FC (2-1). The former Blues captain made seven saves, but the men in green, the visitors, found his kryptonite. It was thus from the penalty spot that Lloris ended up losing, on an attempt by Pedro de La Vega (73rd). Not dramatic, because LAFC was leading 2-0 at that time and the Californians held on afterwards.
Lloris very happy
The French goalkeeper was in any case very satisfied with his debut. “I think we couldn’t have started better, confided the former Lyonnais, in comments reported by ESPN. The most important thing was to take the three points. We are still working on our physical condition and we suffered the last 20 minutes, but with the help of the public we were able to win. »
“ His first match was very clean, LAFC coach Steve Cherundolo commented. He made some important saves. It’s definitely a rock for us. There is a feeling of security when he is there. It draws on years and years of experience playing at a high level. » And he still has a few good matches to give obviously.
