Travis, Vince, and Darren break down LAFC’s 1-1 draw with Chivas that ends in a penalty shootout win, a “Chivas vs Chivas” night with an electric, contentious atmosphere at BMO that featured a heavy Chivas presence but a loud 3252. David Martinez’s mature decision and assist in the build-up, a strong defensive performance led by Nkosi Tafari with MULTIPLE goal-saving interventions, and the 17-year-old homegrown hero, Jude Terry stepping up to score the winning PK with ADDULT COMPOSURE, all contributed to a big win tonight. We talk to fans calling in from the stadium, LAFC fans, Chivas fans, and split fans. BIG W (but also technically a draw for record-keeping purposes).

LAFC draw Vancouver 1-1 at BC Place and we leave feeling both annoyed and encouraged: our defense earned a win, but a soft penalty changed the result and cost us points in the race for first in the West. We break down how Vancouver’s possession game met our transition game, why our midfield passing wasn’t sharp enough, Son's beautiful finish, and how much the new turf in Vancouver wrecked both teams’ ability to play. COULD DARREN HAVE SCORED THAT HALF-FIELD OPEN GOAL SHOT FROM CHOINIERE???
