With Saturday’s result, LAFC extended their unbeaten run against the Sounders to eight – winning six and drawing twice in a stretch that dates back to May 2021. It also kept them within two points of the LA Galaxy atop the Western Conference standings, although the Black & Gold have two games in hand on their El Tráfico rivals.
“At this point in the season, you can start to look at the table,” said head coach Steve Cherundolo. “Maintaining and keeping pace with the teams at the top of the table is very important.
“Before we can hopefully, in the transfer window, make some improvements on our roster and get some rest, I think that’s really important before the sprint of the last third of the season arrives at the end of August,” Cherundolo said. “[It is a] very important signal also to the others that we’re still there.”
