On Episode 303, the boys recap the dominant 3-0 win over USL Championship side Loudoun United in the 2024 U.S. Open Cup! LAFC raced out to an early lead, with Timothy Tillman's 8th-minute goal equalling the fastest goal LAFC has scored in the Open Cup. A sleepy remainder of the half would give way to a much more action-filled second, as Denis the Distributor found Kike Olivera for his 3rd goal of this year's Open Cup. With the lead doubled, LAFC kept their foot planted squarely on the accelerator. Denis found Tomas Angel, making his first start for LAFC, behind the defense with a beautiful, calm pass. From there, Angel did all the work and found the net to open his LAFC account. 3-0 and it was all over an hour in. LAFC moves on to face another USLC side, New Mexico United, in the Quarterfinals in early July. More on that match, and their opponent, as we get closer to the date. Also on this episode, Tommy Musto makes his LAFC debut and we remember the friendly against Borussia Dortmund. The Black and Gold head to Atlanta for their next match of the year. Make sure you tune back into Defenders for all the details of our trip to the South in Episode 304!
