RENTON, WASH. - Seattle Sounders FC continues its Leagues Cup 2024 campaign with a Quarterfinals matchup against LAFC on Saturday, August 17 on the Emerald Queen Casino Pitch at Lumen Field (5:00 p.m. PT / Apple TV, 950 KJR AM, SiriusXM FC 157, El Rey 1360 AM).
The Rave Green advanced to the Quarterfinals by defeating Liga MX side Pumas UNAM 4-0 in the Round of 16 on August 12, with Jordan Morris scoring a brace and Albert Rusnák adding a goal and two assists. LAFC defeated the San Jose Earthquakes 4-1 to move onto the Quarterfinals on August 13.
Saturday's matchup is the next chapter in the rivalry between Seattle and LAFC, with the two sides facing off 20 times in all competitions since the Southern California side joined MLS in 2018, including three times in the MLS Cup Playoffs.
Should Seattle advance to the Semifinals, it would face the winner of Liga MX side Club América and the Colorado Rapids, who play in their Quarterfinals fixture on Saturday night at Dignity Health Sports Park, on Wednesday, August 21.
