On Episode 312, we keep it short and sweet. LAFC does what they need to do to get past USL side New Mexico United and onto the semifinals of the U.S. Open Cup.
Goals by Timmy Tillman, David Martinez, and Mateusz Bogusz highlight a performance Coach Steve said was "enough to get them over the bar." The real highlight was the solid turnout by the NMU supporters. Kudos!
Don;t worry, we'll be back in just a couple of days with 313, all about the MLS Cup rematch with Columbus. Until then, enjoy! -

Episode 311 is all about the rivalry, the derby, the Battle for Los Angeles! And on this episode, everything comes up roses for LAFC! LAFC takes out their rivals from Carson, 2-1, behind a standout performance from Sergi Palencia and another historic goal from Kei Kamara.
The first half was all LAFC, as the Black and Gold went into the locker room with a 2-0 lead. A picture perfect corner from Mateusz Bogusz to Kei Kamara gave LAFC the lead. Just a minute or so later, Eduard Atuesta earns a penalty, and Denis Bouanga puts it away for a two goal advantage!
In the second half, LAFC would absorb Carson's best, as Gabriel Pec and company stormed to the front of the net for an early second half goal. Crises were averted after that, as both Joseph Paintsil and Riqui Puig saw their efforts go for naught. LAFC would take the match and even up the series at nine wins apiece.

Another night at BMO, another bit of history made by LAFC in what has rounded into an extremely successful first half-ish of the season for the Black and Gold. The home unbeaten streak continues, and you can hear all about it here on Episode 310!
It was a bit of a sluggish first half for LAFC, but we were able to get on the board in the 20' behind the connection that has powered the offense to the top of the West, Denis Bouanga and Mateusz Bogusz. After a beautiful buildup including an exquisite through ball from Ilie, Denis picks out Matty on the far post. Both the ball and Bogusz tumble into the goal for the lead, 1-0.
Before the hour mark, LAFC double their lead behind another Bogusz banger, this one coming off a deflected Denis attempt. Zack Steffen was caught flat-footed, and LAFC was up two. Just a few minutes later, Kevin Cabral would be shown his second yellow for the Rapids, making any comeback all the more unlikely.
A third from Bogusz, off the best buildup of the night, quieted the waters in Colorado, put the boys up 3-0, and cemented an historic night for Matty, becoming just the 6th player in club history with a hat trick. Hugo kept it clean for his 8th of the season.
Also on this episode, Filly is still on vacay mode, David Martinez makes his return, and the Rose Bowl awaits. Enjoy Episode 310! -

LAFC welcomes FC Dallas to BMO for the first time in 2024! Unfortunately for Dallas, their trip comes during LAFC's record-setting shutout streak, and, with a 2-week break looming after the match, the Black and Gold were dead set on keeping the streak going. Hear all about it here on Episode 306!
The two sides played to a scoreless first half, with LAFC failing to put away a couple of decent chances. Their MLS scoreless streak surpassed 400 minutes, and their all-comps streak ticked over 500 minutes, but the score was still knotted at zero.
With Dallas looking to park the bus, breaking the deadlock would take a moment of brilliance. Enter Mateusz Bogusz. LAFC's do-it-all midfielder/forward slotted a beautiful pass right down Broadway to a streaking Denis Bouanga, and 99 did all the work from there. The boys were up 1-0, and that would be enough. Though Dallas dominated the last eight minutes or so, they couldn't equalize.
The winning streak is now at 7 as LAFC heads into a 2-week break. Time to rest and recharge before a 2-match road trip through Orlando and Austin. Enjoy 306! -

Episode 305 is on tap, and things are getting Loon-y at BMO! LAFC extends their shutout streaks, Denis scores and assists, and Matty Bogusz puts on a laser show. Let's get to it!
One of the few teams ahead of LAFC in the standings, Minnesota United made the cross-country trek to BMO looking for the same result they experienced at home. The scoreline may have been the same, but that's where the similarities end. Denis buried a well-earned penalty in the first half, Mateusz Bogusz drilled top bins from 30 yards out in the second half, and the bend-but-don't-break defense extended their simultaneous shutout streaks to new LAFC records!
Also on this episode, Scarf takes a peek at the Supporters Shield race while Filly gets all caffeinated. Enjoy 305! -

Atlanta. Oh, Atlanta. If LAFC had their own Simpsons’ Tree House of Horrors, it would be Mercedes Benz Stadium. The Black and Gold traveled back to the ATL to take on Atlanta United, and, here on Episode 304, let Filly and the Scarf tell you why, for the first time, LAFC didn’t get the Benz in Atlanta!
After a chippy first half that saw plenty of yellows and a few missed foul calls, the action really heated up at the hour mark. Brad Guzan sweeps the leg on Mateusz Bogusz, earning an eerily similar red to the Portland match. It definitely WAS deja vu all over again, as Bogusz found more Mati magic, slotting the free kick by backup Josh Cohen to give the away side a 1-0 advantage.
From there, as Taylor Twellman put it, LAFC got… worse. Way, way worse. Despite the man advantage, it was the now-Thiago Almada led home side that dictated pace. A couple of near misses and continuous pressure led to LAFC’s own red card, on (surprise) Eduard Atuesta for his second yellow of the match. Luckily, Atlanta couldn’t capitalize 10v10, and, for the first time, LAFC leaves ATL with all three points.
Also on this episode, Filly gets a hat… for Nina’s birthday and for America. You have to see it.
It’s a busy week for the Defenders and LAFC, with matches on both Wednesday and Saturday. Tune in for all the fun! -

On Episode 303, the boys recap the dominant 3-0 win over USL Championship side Loudoun United in the 2024 U.S. Open Cup!
LAFC raced out to an early lead, with Timothy Tillman's 8th-minute goal equalling the fastest goal LAFC has scored in the Open Cup. A sleepy remainder of the half would give way to a much more action-filled second, as Denis the Distributor found Kike Olivera for his 3rd goal of this year's Open Cup. With the lead doubled, LAFC kept their foot planted squarely on the accelerator. Denis found Tomas Angel, making his first start for LAFC, behind the defense with a beautiful, calm pass. From there, Angel did all the work and found the net to open his LAFC account. 3-0 and it was all over an hour in.
LAFC moves on to face another USLC side, New Mexico United, in the Quarterfinals in early July. More on that match, and their opponent, as we get closer to the date. Also on this episode, Tommy Musto makes his LAFC debut and we remember the friendly against Borussia Dortmund.
The Black and Gold head to Atlanta for their next match of the year. Make sure you tune back into Defenders for all the details of our trip to the South in Episode 304! -
