LAFC’s Rotated XI Falls 2-1 to Portland at the Death — Jude Terry screamer, 3rd-string goalkeeper debut, and all eyes on Cruz Azul.

LAFC rest EIGHT starters - Son Heung-min, Hugo Lloris, and Sergi Palencia not even traveling with the team - and bring in the 3rd string goalkeeper, and almost still pull out a victory, but fall to Portland at the death. Our clean sheet MLS streak comes to an end, and our undefeated record in 2026 comes to an end, all in service of fresh legs for Tuesday's CONCACAF Champions Cup Leg 2 Quarterfinal match vs. Cruz Azul away in Puebla. Will it be worth it!?

Travis, Darren, and Vince preview two LAFC's MLS road game at Portland on Saturday and the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal second leg at Cruz Azul on Tuesday. Has Marc Dos Santos finally unlocked the attack after LAFC’s 6–0 win over Orlando and 3–0 first-leg win over Cruz Azul? Son Heung-min and Denis Bouanga are surging, and David Martinez is too, but Portland and Puebla will not be easy places to play. One of them has high altitude and the other's got a lumberjack with a chainsaw standing in the crowd JUST WAITING TO USE IT!!!!

LEG 1 IN THE BAG. Job not done, but LAFC just mounted perhaps their most impressive and convincing performance yet, overcoming early pressure from Cruz Azul at home to break through and win 3-0. Son Heung-min finally breaks the ice with a goal from open play, Choiniere chimes in with 2 assists, and David Martinez powers through with a brace. Huge game, huge win, huge team.
