On Sunday August 11th, Los Angeles Football Club (17-4-3) defeated the New York Red Bulls (11-4-10) in what will likely be remembered as a battle between the 2018 and 2019 Major League Soccer Supporters Shield winners.
The Red Bulls played their normal pressing style against LAFC's counter press and entered the half tied with LAFC at two goals a piece, but LAFC controlled the second half en route to another home victory. With ten wins and a draw in 11 matches at Banc of California Stadium, LAFC have truly taken the mantra "Defend the banc" to heart in 2019.
