US EditionPogba watches LAFC fall to MLS defeat
- Former France and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, who is looking for a new club after an 18-month doping ban, was in the stands on Saturday to watch Los Angeles FC lose 1-0 to Austin FC in a Major League Soccer game.
- Pogba's search for a new club follows a failed drugs test in August 2023 after a game in Italy, which initially resulted in a four-year doping ban that was later reduced on appeal, and the termination of his Juventus contract last November.
- Guilherme Biro scored the only goal of the game for Austin FC in the 12th minute with a header from a corner, despite LAFC goalkeeper Hugo Lloris getting a hand to the ball.
- Pogba greeted LAFC's former France striker Olivier Giroud, who missed the game due to a leg injury, and embraced his ex-France captain Hugo Lloris pitchside after the game.
- The loss to Austin FC marked LAFC's second straight defeat after being thrashed 5-2 by the Seattle Sounders, a surprising result considering they had won their opening two games of the season.
