LAFC Advances to MLS Semifinals with 1-0 Win

Los Angeles FC (LAFC) secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps, advancing to the Western Conference Semifinals of the MLS playoffs. Mateusz Bogusz was the hero, scoring the decisive goal in the 62nd minute after intercepting a poor clearance from Vancouver's defense. This win allowed LAFC to take the playoff series 2-1, overcoming a surprising 3-0 defeat in Game 2. Despite a promising start from Vancouver, who had significant possession and opportunities, they could not capitalize on their chances. LAFC's defense was resolute, with Hugo Lloris making key saves to maintain the clean sheet. The team's next challenge will be against the Seattle Sounders in two weeks at BMO Stadium.
