The LAFC lads will take the pitch on Saturday at the Banc to battle for the MLS Cup ⚽️
on LAFC fan culture. It’s a great pre-game listen if you’re headed to the game or planning to watch from home.What You Should Know About This Season
LAFC was the winningest team in the league this season, finishing top of the table with 67 points. The Philadelphia Union, too, finished with 67 points. But LAFC had the better record, 21-9-4, versus Philly’s 19-5-10, so they were awarded the Supporter’s Shield, which honors the league’s top regular season team.
The goal is, well, to score more goals than the other side. By kicking and heading, but not punching the ball past the goalkeeper into the net — remember, no hands! In this particular game, L.A. and Philadelphia will have 90 minutes to try and score the most goals. If they both have the same number of goals after this span, the game will be extended by thirty minutes, split into two 15-minute periods of extra time.
If the game is still tied after that, the winner will be determined by penalty kicks, which, as mentioned before, is less than ideal.
