This was not how it was supposed to go. A match at the Rose Bowl? Blowing a 2-goal lead with less than 25 minutes to go? No Vela AND no Chiqui? However you slice it, it's an unceremonious exit for LAFC as they fall to Monterrey, 3-2. 

LAFC raced out to a 2-goal lead behind the skillful PK of Denis Bouanga and the banger of a golazo by Mati Boguesz. But the entire second half belonged to Monterrey, as they roared back with 2 goals of their own and a little help from Sergi Palencia en route to a comeback win.

The story of the match was substitutions. All three of Monterrey's subs directly affected the game's outcome and were, in some way, responsible for a goal being scored. The same could not be said for LAFC. Either way, our Leagues Cup run is done.  

Also on this episode, Cifu debuts in Scotland, LAFC2 gets set to host a derby, and we wish a very happy birthday to friend-of-the-pod Team Security Paul! Enjoy, or at least get through, Episode 270.
