The MLS weekend just concluded, and fans saw five draws this weekend out of which four ended with a score of 1-1. The last match of this otherwise close matches-filled weekend was a stomp. LA Galaxy went winless, as they went for a goalless draw against Sporting KC. David Beckham’s Inter Miami couldn’t keep their win streak going and lost their 3rd match of the season against New York City FC. Philadelphia Union defeated Chicago Fire FC due to a very last regular-minute goal by Joaquin Torres, and LAFC went into absolute terror mode.

They played the most one-sided game of the weekend yesterday between LAFC and New England. Although they easily won the match, fans noticed something else during the game. A very hilarious incident during the game that got even the casters by surprise.

In a laughable moment in the second half, when LAFC got a chance for a free kick, two players with their eyes on the ball were Denis Bouanga and Kellyn Acosta. Both wanted to take the chance, and in this very confusing time, players got one of the most genius solutions to this problem. They played Rock-Paper Scissor to determine who would take the kick.

The commentators screamed, “no they… no they did it” as Kellyn went for Rock. His opponent Bouanga expecting this move went for Paper and got the win. He took the kick but missed by a mere inch to score in the 54th minute. He would have had three goals in the match if he would have converted the chance.
