Angel City FC lost 2-1.
Becky G, a singer/songwriter who is also an investor in the club, read a statement as the players went into the field for the match.
“In Angel City, we believe in the power of belonging. We know that Los Angeles is stronger because of its diversity and the people and the families who shape it, love it and call it home,” she said via the Los Angeles Times. “The drug in this city is made by immigrants. Football does not exist without immigrants. This club is not found without immigrants.
“This is our home. This is LA. This immigrant city.”
