With just a few days until the All Star Game heads to the Cathedral of Black and Gold, LAFC heads north of the border for the first time in 2 seasons to take on Vancouver. Spoiler alert: it did not go well. Just 15 minutes into the match, Carlos Vela called for a sub as he held his right thigh. As all LAFC front office execs and faithful alike held their collective breath, Chicho entered for a visibly pained Vela. Right before the half time whistle, Brian Rodriguez (yes, Brian!) earned a PK for LAFC, and the man who scored the first goal against the Sounders, Diego Rossi, slotted it home to give LAFC the lead. A lead!LAFC would give the lead right back at the hour mark, and from there on out, Vancouver seemed to wrestle away control of the match. It was deja vu all over again for LAFC, as an unmarked passer found an unmarked goal scorer for a header in the box with just a minute and stoppage to go. Just like that, Vancouver was on top at their own place for the first time in over 530 days. Vancouver dominated possession for almost all SEVEN minutes of stoppage, and LAFC heads into the break with their collective tails between their legs, falling to Vancouver 2-1.
