Timothy Tillman - Assists in opening game Tillman assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-0 win versus Inter Miami CF.

Impact Tillman's biggest impact came in the 73rd minute when he clipped a perfectly weighted long ball into Miami's half that sparked Denis Bouanga's breakaway for the second goal, after the Gabonese forward rounded Dayne St. Clair and buried it into an empty net. Beyond the assist, Tillman dictated the tempo in midfield and kept LAFC in control while Miami pushed for any kind of sustained momentum. The play capped off a strong shift that showcased his value as a midfield connector who can flip the switch and go vertical when space opens up, as reflected in the two chances he created on the night.

Son Heung-min - Provides assist in first game Son assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-0 win against Inter Miami CF.

Impact Son set the tone in the season opener against Inter Miami, delivering the assist on David Martinez's 38th minute strike and driving LAFC's most dangerous transition sequences all night. He was a constant threat early, including a sixth minute burst where he rounded Dayne St. Clair and teed up Denis Bouanga for a look that was tipped over the bar. The South Korean star looked sharp and fully dialed in to kick off his first full MLS campaign, and if he maintains this level for the black and gold, he'll firmly enter the MVP conversation.

Nathan Ordaz - Scores late goal in opener Ordaz scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Inter Miami CF.

Impact Ordaz checked in for Son Heung-Min in the 89th minute and wasted no time making his presence felt. Deep into stoppage time, he burst straight through the middle and coolly buried Denis Bouanga's feed to cap off the three-goal advantage, putting an exclamation point on the night. The strike highlighted a ruthless closing stretch from LAFC in the season opeenr and elevated a strong win into a full-blown statement performance. Ordaz now figures to battle David Martinez for a spot in the starting attack moving forward.

Impact Bouanga put the game out of reach in the 73rd minute, sprinting onto Timothy Tillman's long ball, rounding Dayne St. Clair and knocking it into an empty net after cleverly heading it into his own path. He wasn't done, either, slipping a perfectly weighted pass to Nathan Ordaz in stoppage time to seal a three-goal win for LAFC in the season opener against Inter Miami. It was a statement performance to open the season, as he generated constant danger with three chances created and stayed aggressive with seven shots. The Gabonese star once again looks poised to be one of MLS' elite players while firmly in the Golden Boot race.

Hugo Lloris - Three-save clean sheet in opener Lloris registered three saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Inter Miami CF.

Impact Lloris logged three saves and blanked Inter Miami in a 3-0 win for the season opener, turning in a composed shift between the posts. He was not heavily tested, but when Miami turned up the heat after halftime, he stayed locked in and made the stops he needed to. His command of the box and constant communication anchored a dominant defensive showing in what could very well be a preview of a title matchup later this season. After posting 13 and 11 clean sheets in his first two MLS campaigns, he will be aiming to top those marks this year and carry that same sharp edge into Saturday's clash against Houston.
