First-half goals from Mateusz Bogusz and Kei Kamara and second-half scores from Denis Bouanga and Lewis O’Brien sent LAFC on to the final of the Leagues Cup with a 4-0 win over the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday before a sparse BMO Stadium crowd announced at 15,953.
LAFC will travel to Ohio on Sunday to play the Columbus Crew for the tournament title. The game will be a rematch of last December’s MLS final, won by the Crew 2-1. But just by reaching the championship game, LAFC has earned a berth in next year’s CONCACAF Champions Cup, the region’s most prestigious club competition.
