There will be no love lost when the Seattle Sounders head to Los Angeles to take on LAFC on Saturday (3 p.m. PT; ESPN, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360 AM) at Banc of California Stadium. Head Coach Brian Schmetzer and the Sounders have knocked the Black and Gold out of the postseason in each of the last two seasons, and it’s created a bit of acrimony between the two sides.
“Whenever you face a team in the playoffs a lot, it naturally turns it up a little bit,” said Sounders forward Will Bruin.
