On Saturday September 7th, Los Angeles Football Club (19-6-4) tied Orlando City SC (9-8-13) 2-2 on the road in Central Florida . The black and gold, playing without its international call ups or injured captain, managed a road point against the Lions, but have now dropped points in three consecutive matches for the first time in 2019.
LAFC, which now prepares to face the Philadelphia Union (15-6-8) in Chester, Pennsylvania this Saturday afternoon, remained on the east coast this week after leaving Orlando. As the international call ups return to the team, coach Bob Bradley is using the long road trip as a bonding opportunity while the regular season wraps up.
Ryan Wallerson of the Southern California News Group (Daily News) & Alex Dwyer of MLSsoccer.com break down LAFC's performance against Orlando, discuss the importance of team depth and bonding heading into the playoffs and preview the match on Saturday against the Union.
