LAFC’s Rossi is player of week

Diego Rossi’s record-setting performance in LAFC’s 5-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Saturday earned the rookie Major League Soccer’s player-ofthe-week award.

Rossi, 20, had two goals and three assists in the win, marking only the sixth time in league history — and first since 2008 — that a player was involved in five goals in a game.

Rossi also scored the game winner in LAFC’s season-opener this month, giving him three goals and three assists only two games into his MLS career and making LAFC the first expansion team to win its first two regular-season games on the road. — Kevin Baxter
