What happened: The 22-year-old academy product reflected on 10 years with the club and his route to the first team. His first MLS start came Aug. 19.
Why it matters: The appearance marked another step for a goalkeeper promoted to the senior roster before the 2026 season. His penalty stop kept LAFC within one goal in a 1-0 defeat.
By the numbers: Carter made five saves, including one on a penalty, in his first MLS start.
What to watch: LAFC's coming lineups will show whether Carter receives another first-team assignment.
