LAFC traveled to the Twin Cities to take on Minnesota United and, stop us if you've heard this before, LAFC was held goalless. Again. In fact, it's been 339 minutes of actual live play since out last goal. Cue the Titanic meme, indeed.
A mess of a clearance by Murillo off a set piece given under questionable-at-best circumstances fell to the feet of Robin Lod, who, even with his off-foot, doesn't miss from that close, put the Loons up a goal just after the 15' mark. Flash forward to the 88', and a horror show of a back pass from LAFC finds Bongi Hlongwane, which set him 1v1 with Hugo. Kudos to Lloris for even getting a touch on it, but it wasn't enough to keep Minnesota from doubling the lead.
In between, and bookending the goals, for that matter, LAFC could barely muster an offensive whimper. Two shots-on-target and 5 offsides aren't going to cut it. LAFC has to find some answers with Nashville set to enter the fray at BMO next Saturday.
Also on this episode, Scarf congratulates Filly on his CBS debut while Filly calls Scarf old. We salute all the LA Marathon runners and finishers, including many of our own in the Black and Gold Running Club. Enjoy Episode 292, and we will see you soon at BMO!
