LAFC Returns to MLS Action After Open Cup Triumph

The Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) is back in Major League Soccer (MLS) action after a successful run in the U.S. Open Cup, where they secured a spot in the final. Their first league game since July 20 sees them hosting the Houston Dynamo at BMO Stadium. With the Galaxy leading the Western Conference, LAFC is looking to close the five-point gap, aiming for a strong finish to the season. The match marks the beginning of a busy schedule for LAFC, with a mix of MLS games and the upcoming Open Cup final against Sporting Kansas City. A win against Houston would be Cherundolo’s 50th regular-season victory in MLS, highlighting LAFC’s consistent performance under his leadership.
