Episode 320 - Soundly Into the Semis

Here on Episode 320, LAFC heads up to Seattle to do exactly what we did three-plus weeks ago, beat the Sounders, 3-0. This time, a berth in the semis of the 2024 Leagues Cup is on the line. 

LAFC would start out hot, as Ryan Hollingshead got behind the defense and slotted home a 13' goal to get the Black and Gold rolling. A dozen minutes later, Kei Kamara turned back the hands of time yet again, this time with a beautiful right-footed, leaping volley that sent the bouncing shot over the outstretched arms of Stefan Frei and into the back of the net for a two-goal lead.

Just 8 minutes after the halftime whistle, Denis Bouanga, who had missed a similar opportunity earlier in the match, got the long pass from his good buddy Hugo Lloris, and the lead was three. Hugo went nearly 14 years between career assists one and two, but barely 14 days between two and three!

Also on this episode, Lewis O'Brien makes his debut, FC Cincinnati may be to blame for Kike Olivera not playing, and Filly is still in Europe. Enjoy Episode 320!
