LAFC topped the Western Conference of the MLS

Los Angeles FC will face Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the MLS playoffs ‘best of three’ series. Vancouver won 5-0 against Portland to secure a place in the MLS playoffs. Before this win, Vancouver lost four consecutive games which derailed their momentum in the MLS. Considering their opponents, the Whitecaps need to improve massively but their recent win will definitely give them much-needed confidence.

The first and third match of their series against LAFC will be played in the BMO Stadium. LAFC have performed at a very high level throughout the season. They accumulated 64 points with 19 wins, seven draws, and eight losses. The club finished level on points with their local rivals LA Galaxy but clinched the top spot because of a higher goal difference (GD). Manager Steve Cherundolo has improved this team greatly and they are emerging as one of the favourites to win the entire MLS Cup.

He brings a lot of energy to the team and presses relentlessly from the front. He will be vital for LAFC in their intense match against Vancouver.

Brian White (Vancouver Whitecaps)

He is a strong presence in the penalty area and keeps the opposition defenders engaged with him throughout the game.
