HOUSTON\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Mark Delgado<\/a> had a goal and an assist, Son Heung-Min<\/a> had two assists and Hugo Lloris<\/a> posted a second straight clean sheet to help LAFC<\/a> beat Houston 2-0 on Saturday night after the Dynamo lost two players to red cards.<\/p>\n

Houston defender Ant\u00f4nio Carlos was tagged with a red card in the second minute of stoppage time in a scoreless first half, forcing the Dynamo to play a man down from there.<\/p>\n

LAFC (2-0-0) took advantage in the 56th minute when Delgado used assists from Son and Denis Bouanga<\/a> to score. Delgado scored for the 26th time in 345 career appearances. Bouanga\u2019s second assist in as many matches gives him 22 in 103 career appearances. None of Bouanga\u2019s 66 goals have come against Houston \u2014 the only team he has not scored on.<\/p>\n

Stephen Eust\u00e1quio scored for the first time in his second league appearance to give LAFC an insurance goal in the 82nd minute \u2014 six minutes after Agust\u00edn Bouzat was hit with a red card that left Houston two men down. Son notched his third assist this season, giving him six in 12 career appearances. Delgado picked up his first assist this season and the 44th of his career.<\/p>\n

Lloris totaled two saves in the shutout after LAFC opened with a 3-0 victory over defending MLS Cup champion Inter Miami at home.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Bond stopped four shots for the Dynamo (1-1-0), who were coming off a season-opening 2-1 victory over the visiting Chicago Fire.<\/p>\n

LAFC earns its first victory in Houston since July 12, 2019 and leads the all-time series 8-5-5. Coach Marc Dos Santos has the club off to a 4-0 start \u2014 over a 12-day span \u2014 in all competitions for the first time after posting a pair of CONCACAF Champions Cup victories over Real Espa\u00f1a by a combined score of 7-1 to reach the Round of 16.<\/p>\n
