LAFC STEAL a 2-2 Draw in San Diego | LAFC Fans React
Ep. 303
•
Travis, Darren, and Vince break down LAFC's stoppage time two-goal comeback to save a point in San Diego after heavy rotation. Son Heung-min and Denis Bouanga came in late in the match to quickly get LAFC on the scoreboard, with yet ANOTHER assist for Sonny on the year (he leads MLS with eight assists in nine games, nbd) and Hollingshead sealed the tie in stoppage time. But ALSOooo our buildup sucked, our midfield was not great, and we struggled to keep possession, which is worrisome going into the FAR more important leg 2 match vs. Toluca in the CONCACAF Champions Cup on Wednesday in mountain-high altitude. Get ready to GET ANXIOUS!

316. LAFC vs RSL Recap | Dolo Ball Working, Sonny's Form Back, and Hugo Made the Saves
48:49||Ep. 316Are we back?! LAFC 3-1 RSL postgame: Sonny's back, Dolo Ball vibes, and a massive West points swing.Travis, Vince, and Darren recap LAFC’s 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake, a night where nearly everything went LAFC’s way. The more transition-heavy “Dolo ball” approach under Marc Dos Santos worked this time, including Sonny being freed from pressing duties, leading to his continued resurgence with two goals in two games. RSL created chances but failed to finish and Hugo Lloris made key saves. Bouanga with another beautiful goal too, and the team is FLYING out of the World Cup break. Best of luck to SKC on Saturday!00:00 Welcome Back Vibes01:10 Dolo Ball Tactics02:13 RSL Threats And Mistakes03:50 Sonny Back In Form07:51 Bouanga Goal Breakdown09:44 West Standings Swing12:12 Celebrations And Stadium Moments14:57 Delgado And Build Up Talk20:41 Martinez Vs Shaffelburg Debate23:44 Super Chats And Callers29:35 Luke Gets Roasted31:12 XG Chance Breakdown31:53 Gems Take Over32:44 A-Rod Birthday Call33:57 Shibierko Shines35:05 Olly Mishap Clean Sheet36:05 Segura Six Debate38:11 More Gems More Chaos39:34 Diego Audio Meltdown44:13 Danny Two Nips Returns47:11 Wrap Up And Saturday
