D.C. United and LAFC have not met since 2019, when the Black-and-Gold drubbed D.C. 4-0 at Audi Field. Then star player Wayne Rooney was booked with red.
LAFC took all three points again, winning 1-0. But the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of the match.
With the hosts on a solid six-match winning streak, the Black-and-Red faced a tall task at Banc of California Stadium. D.C. United put up a solid first half, holding off LAFC and creating substantial chances throughout. Unfortunately for the Black-and-Red, a flurry of yellow cards ended up spelling disaster.
