Episode 322 - LAFC Falls to Columbus... Again

Defenders of the Banc - The LAFC Podcast

On Episode 322, Filly and the Scarf break down another heart-wrenching defeat in Columbus. This time, it's a 3-1 loss in the Final of the 2024 Leagues Cup. Come with us on what we hope will be a chance to get it all out while we look forward to the Open Cup Semifinal the boys play in just a few days.
An awful first half turned worse in stoppage, as LAFC just couldn't get in the locker room even. A beautiful header by Cucho put the home side up at the half. The second half was much, much better for LAFC, however. Olivier Giroud got on the end of a great Bogusz set piece for his first goal in Black and Gold, and LAFC would hold the deadlock until second-half stoppage. A dangerous cross turned into a heartbreaking goal, again from Cucho, and our Leagues Cup run was over. The Crew put one more away to make it even worse cosmetically.
At least LAFC secured our spot in CCC, right? And hey, for now, we've still got Kike and Bogusz! Let's all be in our feels as we get set for a trip up to Seattle, and for the chance to play for another Cup!
