On Episode 312, we keep it short and sweet. LAFC does what they need to do to get past USL side New Mexico United and onto the semifinals of the U.S. Open Cup. 

Goals by Timmy Tillman, David Martinez, and Mateusz Bogusz highlight a performance Coach Steve said was "enough to get them over the bar." The real highlight was the solid turnout by the NMU supporters. Kudos!

Don;t worry, we'll be back in just a couple of days with 313, all about the MLS Cup rematch with Columbus. Until then, enjoy!

Episode 311 is all about the rivalry, the derby, the Battle for Los Angeles! And on this episode, everything comes up roses for LAFC! LAFC takes out their rivals from Carson, 2-1, behind a standout performance from Sergi Palencia and another historic goal from Kei Kamara. 

The first half was all LAFC, as the Black and Gold went into the locker room with a 2-0 lead. A picture perfect corner from Mateusz Bogusz to Kei Kamara gave LAFC the lead. Just a minute or so later, Eduard Atuesta earns a penalty, and Denis Bouanga puts it away for a two goal advantage!

In the second half, LAFC would absorb Carson's best, as Gabriel Pec and company stormed to the front of the net for an early second half goal. Crises were averted after that, as both Joseph Paintsil and Riqui Puig saw their efforts go for naught. LAFC would take the match and even up the series at nine wins apiece. 

Who's birthday party did we spoil, and exactly how many games does LAFC have in July? Tune in to Episode 311 to find out!

Another night at BMO, another bit of history made by LAFC in what has rounded into an extremely successful first half-ish of the season for the Black and Gold. The home unbeaten streak continues, and you can hear all about it here on Episode 310!

It was a bit of a sluggish first half for LAFC, but we were able to get on the board in the 20' behind the connection that has powered the offense to the top of the West, Denis Bouanga and Mateusz Bogusz. After a beautiful buildup including an exquisite through ball from Ilie, Denis picks out Matty on the far post. Both the ball and Bogusz tumble into the goal for the lead, 1-0. 

Before the hour mark, LAFC double their lead behind another Bogusz banger, this one coming off a deflected Denis attempt. Zack Steffen was caught flat-footed, and LAFC was up two. Just a few minutes later, Kevin Cabral would be shown his second yellow for the Rapids, making any comeback all the more unlikely. 

A third from Bogusz, off the best buildup of the night, quieted the waters in Colorado, put the boys up 3-0, and cemented an historic night for Matty, becoming just the 6th player in club history with a hat trick. Hugo kept it clean for his 8th of the season. 

Also on this episode, Filly is still on vacay mode, David Martinez makes his return, and the Rose Bowl awaits. Enjoy Episode 310!
