LAFC Season Pass S01/E038: Western Semifinals Review, L.A. Media Reaction, Conference Finals Preview
Los Angeles Football Club beat the Galaxy, Los Angeles Football Club is two wins from history!
It took six attempts, but the first playoff matchup between the Los Angeles rivals was LAFC's time to register its first win in the derby. It was without a doubt the biggest match up of the season thus far, and Los Angeles got up for it.
Tickets to the match were hotter than the NBA season opener between the Los Angeles Clippers and Lakers and there were over 300 media requests for the match. This was LAFC's biggest game ever, and perhaps the biggest league match for the Galaxy since winning its fifth championship in 2014.
It was a massive moment, to say the least, and the game lived up to it. Eight goals tied the MLS playoff record, and while Zlatan had his expected moments of magic, a goal from Diego Rossi and braces from both Carlos Vela and the returning Adama Diomande gave LAFC all the offense in needed in a 5-3 victory that will stand as the team's biggest ever victory until... Tuesday night if LAFC can punch a ticket to MLS Cup with a win at home over the Seattle Sounders in the Western Conference Final.
Ryan Wallerson of the Southern California News Group and Alex Dwyer of MLSsoccer.com break down LAFC's performance against the Galaxy, dig into the L.A. media's reaction to the match and preview Tuesday's conference final against Seattle.
