“It feels amazing, of course, to score the free kick.” 🎙️ Leo Walta https://t.co/odOzWRUOw3 Via @LAFC on X

What happened: Walta called scoring the free kick amazing. Walta converted in his second straight start on loan. The strike was LAFC's first free-kick goal of 2026.

Why it matters: Opening his account strengthens his case for a continued role while on loan through 2026. Adding a free-kick threat gives the attack a set-piece outlet.

By the numbers: First goal with club; 46th-minute free kick; second straight start.

What to watch: Watch whether Walta holds a starting role in the next MLS regular-season match.
