LAFC blanks Houston to win MLS Western Conference final – Press Enterprise

For the second consecutive season, the Los Angeles Football Club has earned the right to compete for an MLS Cup.

LAFC topped the Houston Dynamo 2-0 at BMO Stadium on Saturday, capturing back-to-back Western Conference title at home.

Defender Ryan Hollingshead connected on the game-winner in the 44th minute.

Houston suffered an own goal late in the second half when defender Franco Escobar, a member of last season’s Major League Soccer champions, knocked it into his net to seal the result.

It will be an all-Black & Gold final on Dec. 9 in Ohio against the Columbus Crew, which advanced past Supporters’ Shield winners FC Cincinnati 3-2 in the Eastern Conference final thanks to goals from former LAFC attackers Diego Rossi and Christian Ramirez.

Like LAFC, Columbus’s path to the MLS Cup came as a No. 3 seed. Among the 10 original teams during the MLS inaugural season of 1996, Columbus is in search of its third league championship after winning in 2008 and 2020.

LAFC dropped both of its regular season matches against Houston, but as it did last season (losing twice to Austin FC before meeting in the conference final), Steve Cherundolo’s team stepped up when it mattered most.

The second-year LAFC head coach improved to 7-0 in the postseason, assuring his side continued a streak of never losing consecutive games to the same team at home.

Houston was fortunate not to fall behind earlier than it did considering LAFC opened hot by pressing the final third looking for turnovers.
