Suffers setback in Portland clash
Tillman left the field due to injury in the 20th minute of Saturday's game versus Portland Timbers.
Analysis: Tillman was getting heavily involved in attack over the opening minutes of Saturday's match, but he felt he couldn't continue due to a physical problem. This is a considerable absence for an LAFC side that is trying to find a replacement for David Martinez (leg) in the remaining offensive spot alongside Son Heung-Min and Denis Bouanga. If the injury is serious, Jacob Shaffelburg will gain playing in upcoming games.
Scores late winner
Tillman scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and three chances created in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC.
Analysis: Tillman came through clutch at the back post, getting on the end of Tyler Boyd's cross in the 86th minute and steering it home for his first MLS goal in over two years, lifting LAFC to a 1-0 win that snapped a three-match skid in league play. He now sits on one goal and two assists across 14 MLS appearances, including 10 starts, this season. The late winner sends LAFC into the seven-week World Cup break sitting fifth in the Western Conference with 24 points, just one point off FC Dallas in fourth.
Provides assist in victory
Tillman assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Minnesota United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 52nd minute.
Analysis: Tillman played a key role in David Martinez's ninth minute opener, linking up crisply with Stephen Eustaquio in a tight three-man sequence that sliced right through Minnesota's defense and set up the decisive finish. He logged the full 90 minutes as one of seven changes coach Marc Dos Santos rolled out ahead of Wednesday's Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal first leg against Toluca, ending the night with two chances created and two tackles won. Tillman now has two assists in MLS play this season, already matching last year's total in 23 fewer games.
