SAINT PAUL, Minn.\u00a0\u2014\u00a0David Martinez scored early in the first half and that was all Hugo Lloris<\/a> needed as LAFC<\/a> ended Minnesota United\u2019s four-match winning streak with a 1-0 victory on Saturday.<\/p>\n

LAFC (6-2-2) snapped an 0-2-1 winless stretch with the victory between two clubs tied for third in the Western Conference entering play. Minnesota United (5-3-2) was unbeaten in its previous five outings.<\/p>\n

Martinez scored for the third time this season to give LAFC a 1-0 lead in the ninth minute. It was the 10th career goal for the 20-year-old in 55 matches. Timothy Tillman collected his second assist of the season, and Stephen Eust\u00e1quio notched his third in his fifth career match.<\/p>\n

Lloris finished with five saves for LAFC. The 39-year-old has a league-leading eight clean sheets in nine starts this season. It was his 32nd shutout in 78 career matches.<\/p>\n

Drake Callender saved six shots for Minnesota United.<\/p>\n

All four goals Lloris has surrendered this season came in a home loss to the San Jos\u00e9 Earthquakes a week ago. That ended a 593-minute scoreless run to begin the season. He dueled Zack Steffan and the visiting Colorado Rapids to a 0-0 draw on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Joaqu\u00edn Pereyra had a potential tying shot hit the left post on a giveaway in the 77th minute.<\/p>\n

Callender made a save on shots by Jeremy Ebobissie in the 85th minute and Denis Bouanga in the 87th to keep the home team in it. He also had a kick save on a shot by Bouanga in the third minute of stoppage time.<\/p>\n

Lloris had a save on a header by Pereyra in the final seconds to preserve the victory. Lloris saved a shot by James Rodr\u00edguez that was on target from 35 yards out in stoppage time to keep LAFC in front at the half.<\/p>\n
