LAFC Fizzles Out in The Rose Bowl
In one of the most highly anticipated matches of the season, El Trafico would make its way to the historic Rose Bowl. Where we had two slumping LA teams fighting for city supremacy. LAFC entered on a two game losing streak meanwhile the Galaxy were winless in their previous four. LAFC has struggled as of late and their struggles would continue as they would go on to lose 2-1 in this historic matchup. Goals from Tyler Boyd and Riqui Puig saw the Galaxy revive what was a dead season. LAFC continues their downhill trend and now find themselves in third place in the standings. This loss is more infuriating knowing that LAFC were the more dominant team but once again could not capitalize. LAFC is now 6-9-5 in all time meetings against the Galaxy and the struggle of playing them away from BMO stadium continues.

A Year Ago LAFC Signed Gareth Bale
A year ago on June 27th, 2022 LAFC signed Welsh international superstar Gareth Bale. While his stint might have been a little lackluster in terms of overall performance. Gareth will have his name written in LAFC history. With an iconic game-tying goal against the Philadelphia Union to his name. Down 3-2 with seconds left to spare in the 2022 MLS Cup, Bale would header in the tie. Ultimately sending the game into penalty kicks, where LAFC would win. Bale arguably is the biggest named that LAFC have signed up to date. It also marked a turning point in LAFC’s short history. Turning them into a star studded super team. Showing that they have what it takes to land the top names in football. While Gareth spent most of the time either injured or not in the squad, when he played it was a spectacle. Fans bought tickets just to see him on the bench and when he played all eyes were on him.
