LAFC Season Pass S01/E033: Houston Dynamo Review, Supporter's Shield Champs, Minnesota Preview
The Champs are here!
Wednesday, September 25th, was a day that will go down in Los Angeles Football Club history. LAFC (20-8-4)shook off its September malaise in a major way to beat the Houston Dynamo 3-1, locking up the first trophy in team history in the process. While its fitting that the team's first trophy was one with such a strong connection to the fans, the team is still hunting another this season, and now has two matches to prepare for the MLS postseason.
LAFC still have plenty to play for between now and the final whistle on Decision Day. LAFC's 81 goals through 32 matches put it five goals away from setting the team record for most goals in a season (1998 Galaxy, 85). LAFC is also four points from setting the MLS points record (2018 New York Red Bulls, 71). Individually, LAFC captain Carlos Vela is two goals away from breaking Atlanta United's Josef Martinez's year-old scoring record of 31.
All three records are within reach, but how hard the team will go to break remains to be seen.
Ryan Wallerson of the Southern California News Group (Daily News) & Alex Dwyer of MLSsoccer.com break down LAFC's performance against Houston, bask on the champagne-soaked sunshine of the Supporter's Shield and preview the match on Saturday against Minnesota United.
