LAFC heads out on the road for the first time in 2021, taking on the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Stadium. With Carlos Vela still sidelined, the Black and Gold Faithful were able to take solace in the return of last year’s Golden Boot winner, Diego Rossi. Unfortunately, LAFC was only able to take a point from Houston.
It was a bit of a snoozer in the first half, as Pablo Sisniega was seldom tested before the half. LAFC didn’t muster much of an attack on offense either, and the half ended scoreless. LAFC took an early second-half lead off of an excellent bit of passing, as the combination went Rossi-Atuesta-Kaye-Latif-Baird for our only tally of the match. LAFC gave up the equalizer off the ensuing kickoff, however, and the match would end in lackluster fashion, 1-1. LAFC remains undefeated, both against Houston in MLS matches and on the 2021 season, but it’s a dull point to be had in Houston.
Also on the episode, we reminisce about Dio, Lee, and BWP, Brian Rodriguez plays 9 minutes for Almeria, Party Beer Co. defeats Panda, LMU can’t hold up their end of the bargain in the NCAA Soccer Tournament, and we enjoy the Kentucky Derby despite the result of Rock Your World.
Filly makes up a new word, Scarf reserves judgment, and we struggle to find our “Wait, What?!” moment. Next week, however, should provide plenty of fireworks, as it’s L.A. Derby Week for the first time in 2021! We can’t wait for episode 145, and we definitely can’t wait to take on Carson!
