Here on Episode 213, unfortunately, the losing streak continues, as LAFC completes their Texas two-step with a 2-1 loss to Houston, falling into a tie for the Supporters Shield with just 6 matches remaining.

The Black and Gold went down early after a handball by Ilie gave Sebastian Ferreira a chance from the spot, but Chicho responded right away to level it after 20’. Despite LAFC having the lion’s share of the opportunities, Griffin Dorsey’s effort in the 75th from just inside the 18 gave Houston all 3 points at home. 

Steve Clark had a great night in net for Houston, thwarting several attempts by Gareth Bale. For LAFC, it was a debut for Denis Bouanga, and possible injuries to Franco Escobar and Eddie Segura. LAFC will have to lick their wounds quickly, as RSL heads to the Banc on Sunday, September 4. 

Also on 213, the playoff schedule is announced, Denis’ number decision leaves us feeling all kinds of ways, Filly rage-eats Popeye’s, and yes, BRIAN’S SONG Part 2 finally sees the light of day!
