LOS ANGELES—D.C. United defender Steven Birnbaum’s dismissal for a second yellow card changed the complexion of the Tuesday match at Los Angeles FC, and the home team cashed in on the man advantage for a 1–0 win.
Kwadwo Opoku’s goal in the 67th minute–seven minutes after Birnbaum saw red–was the difference as Los Angeles ran its club-record winning streak to seven games.
