On Episode 261, we break down the breakdowns in LAFC's upset loss at home to the Whitecaps, 3-2. For the second time this season, a club has come into BMO and wrestled away their first road win of the season. This trend needs to stop.
Vancouver struck early, as a third-minute goal off a set piece put the bad guys up 1-0. They would double their lead about 20 minutes later off a Brian White header, and it was clear the defending champs were reeling They needed something to get them off the mat, and right before halftime, they would find that something!
Denis Bouanga pounces on a rebound to net his 11th of the MLS campaign, and the lead was halved. Unfortunately, the Whitecaps would score a third about 20 minutes into the second half, putting the home side down a pair. A Carlos Vela goal, off a beautiful steal and pass by Mati, would again cut the deficit to one, but it was too little, too late for the Black and Gold. Vancouver would take all three points, 3-2.
Also on this episode, we are reminded that love is love as our friends Taylor and Max tie the knot on Christmas Tree Lane. We get back to our "Wait, What?!" moment, we get set to potentially welcome back a back-line weapon, and we can breathe easier as we watch Olly soar. Enjoy Episode 261!
