Los Angeles FC News Release


The Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) heads to Pennsylvania to take on the Philadelphia Union on Saturday, September 14 at Talen Energy Stadium. Tomorrow's match is scheduled to kick off at 4:30 p.m. PT and will be broadcast on YouTube TV, Univision KVMD, ESPN 710 AM, and 980 AM "La Mera Mera'.

Following Houston's 2-0 victory over Minnesota on Wednesday night, LAFC officially clinched the top spot in the Western Conference, securing a first-round bye in the Audi 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs and a spot in the 2020 Concacaf Champions League. The Club will also have the chance to secure the Supporters' Shield this weekend if:

LAFC wins vs. Philadelphia Union AND

NYCFC loses vs. San Jose Earthquakes AND

Atlanta United loses/ties vs. Columbus Crew SC

Saturday's contest will be the first and only regular season meeting between LAFC and the Union, and it will also mark the Club's first-ever trip to Talen Energy Stadium. Last year, Adama Diomande registered LAFC's first hat-trick in Club history during the 4-1 win over Philadelphia on June 30 - scoring all three goals during a 30-minute span.

The Black & Gold, missing seven players due to international duty and Carlos Vela due to injury, battled Orlando City SC to a 2-2 draw at Exploria Stadium last weekend. Forward Adrien Perez tallied his first MLS goal in his first start for LAFC, while forward Diego Rossi notched his 15th goal of the season to salvage a point on the road.

Meanwhile, Philadelphia was one of nine teams that did not see any action during the FIFA window. The Eastern Conference side currently sits in second place in the East with a 15-8-6 (51 pts.) record. At home, the team is 10-2-3, with its last defeat taking place on May 25 - a 3-1 loss against the Portland Timbers.
