LAFC is fighting for playoff positioning
LAFC damaged their chances of finishing in the top two in the Western Conference with a first defeat in seven games (4-1-2), falling 3-1 to the Chicago Fire this past Saturday at Toyota Park.
“We were no good today, so we’re pretty angry at ourselves. Things were slow, casual,” LAFC head coach Bob Bradley said postgame. “We paid the price.”
LAFC are currently third in the West with 50 points, just four shy of leaders FC Dallas and two points behind second-place Sporting Kansas City. They will need to take advantage of their final four games to bypass the topsy-turvy knockout round and finish in the top two spots in the West.
