Incredible fight from both sides . At certain moments , Seattle suffocated Dallas downing to 1 x 2 , but Dallas turned around and finished 3 x 2 . It ’ ll be 3rd game on Friday for all or nothing .
Dallas was out to play with Arriola unstoppable . Seattle definitely didn ’ t come for cordial sweet visit and arrived to play with Joe Morris , a match for Arriola in efforts and run . Game 3 .
The incredible best record new expansion team couldn ’ t handle the pressure of their first Playoff competition . They allowed visitors KC get away with a crushing victory of 4 x 1 in their own home .
Kansas demolished St . Louis in their home in the first game . What would they do as hosts , and they ’ re
capable .
St . Louis kept possession pressuring KC but couldn ’ t dent the net and KC is on the Semis . They got rid of the Conference ’ first team and league darling expansion , with only two games .
LAFC , the defending champion , decided on game 2 on the road . They won 1st game at home and at Vancouver record attendance citadel .
Drama , controversy and early well charged PK by Bouanga take LAFC to Semis . The best moment , sorry for Vancouvesr ’ s fans , you were
holding your heart in your mouth , but look at it when cool down and see how interesting was : Final minutes to the end , Vancouver gets a corner , all its 11 players came to take advantage of it , including , of course , the goalkeeper Takaka . LAFC defense took care of it . Gould didn ’ t see the referee in front of him and collided with him and his teammate lost the ball to Vegas ( LAFC ). Vegas collected it and alone he went to attack . Bouanga saw and understood what was happening and followed him . Only one Vancouver player against three LA attackers to a Vancouver ’ s goal mouth open ajar asking for the ball , a real temptation . Vegas passed the ball in a silver platter to Bouanga that turned around the lone Vancouver ’ s “ mohikan ” and filled that big mouth with a full spoon ball . LAFC 2 x 0 and celebration galore .
The referee still was in the middle of the field . All Vancouver ' s players stopped their futile run in their side of the field and swarmed the referee . Vancouver ’ s coach got possessed and entered the field , and of course , got another yellow tagged with red .
The referee checked VAR and decided it was offside . LAFC didn ’ t argue back , they knew they reacted at the moment and running free to opponent ’ s goal . They were not much sure if was or not offside , besides they ’ re winning 1 x 0 and regardless how the referee acted he couldn ’ t stretch the discount time already lapsed by more than a minute .
Final LAFC 1 x 0 Vancouver . Great team , great plays , lots of accomplishments on the season and reached beyond their own expectations . Their Playoff dreams were shattered a bit early , only two out of 3 expected games .
Houston Dynamo which won the 1st game as a visitor by 2 x 1 , got a penalty awarded at 28 ’. DiBassi charged a penalty too weak , SLC GK guessed the side right , buffing the ball out with his fingers but still in the penalty area with other players involved but DiBassi reacted fast and re-directed the ball to the net frustrating
GK ’ s attempt to grab it for good giving Houston partial advantage of
1 x 0 . SLC got a beautiful goal from Savarino to tie and was able to fight to end + discount time with the 1 x 1 result , forcing the decision to a PK charge . They did what ’ s they supposed to do and won the PK forcing the Game 3 .
