David Ousted helps Fire hold on to scoreless draw vs. LAFC

The Fire (2-4-4) are winless in their last three games but snapped a two-game losing streak.

LOS ANGELES — David Ousted had four saves for his second shutout of the season, and the Fire held on for a 0-0 tie with Los Angeles FC on Saturday night.

Tyler Miller had one save for Los Angeles (7-1-3) for his fourth shutout.

The Fire (2-4-4) are winless in their last three games but snapped a two-game losing streak.

LAFC had several chances, outshooting the Fire 22-9, but couldn’t convert. Ousted went low to stop a shot by Christian Ramirez in the 18th minute, and Mark-Anthony Kaye lofted a perfectly placed pass to Steve Beitashour in the center of the area for a sliding left-footer that appeared to make it 1-0 in the 53rd minute, but a late offside flag went up.

LAFC is unbeaten with five wins in six home games this season.
