The road to MLS Cup runs through LAFC and BMO Stadium
LAFC players embrace and celebrate on the pitch at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on Saturday night after defeating the San Jose Earthquakes and scoring enough goals to finish atop the Western Conference and clinch home-field advantage in the playoffs. After 33 games and 90 minutes, LAFC and the Galaxy were no further apart than they were when the MLS season began in February: Same number of points, same number of wins, same goal differential.
They were as even as a carpenter’s level.
