Episode 317 - Vancouver: The Roller Coaster
Here on Episode 317, we are back in action at BMO, and it's more Leagues Cup action. This time, we take on a very, very familiar foe as of late, the Vancouver Whitecaps. And boy oh boy was it a roller coaster ride!
LAFC simply looked awful to start the match. Down 2-0 after 20 minutes, and playing rather uninspired football, the supporters at BMO were looking for any signs of life on the pitch; the 3252 was providing all the necessary energy off of it.
Cue the dramatics! LAFC would make something out of nothing, and wait until the 87th minute to do so. Denis Bouanga would find the beautiful head of Kei Kamara, and just like that, LAFC was back in it, down 2-1. With just seconds left on the clock, Sergi Palencia's cross would find David Martinez, who taes his shot from well outside the top of the box. The bouncing ball finds the head of Mateusz Bogusz, and, completely improbably, we are level!
LAFC would go on to lose in penalties, but the point we earned was enough to get us into the Round of 32! Yay us! Enjoy Episode 317!
