Olivier Giroud and Hugo Lloris will not win MLS this year. During the night from Saturday to Sunday, their Los Angeles FC team, which remained in two consecutive finals, was defeated in the Western Conference semi-finals by Seattle Sounders (1-2 ap).
However, the Californian franchise took the lead in this part thanks to an achievement by Ryan Hollingshead (50th). But Seattle completely reversed the situation, benefiting from an own goal from Maxime Chanot (59th), before Jordan Morris (109th) sealed the fate of the match in overtime.
An evening to forget for Giroud
Holder, Olivier Giroud had a very complicated evening, like his debut in the North American championship. Released in the 70th minute of play, the top scorer in the history of the Blues only had one shot on goal, and without hitting the target. The 2018 world champion thus ends his season with only 2 small achievements on the clock in 19 appearances.
The Sounders, who had not beaten LAFC for ten matches, will play the winner of the meeting between Los Angeles Galaxy and Minnesota United in the Western Conference final. Note that in the East, in the New York derby, the New York Red Bulls qualified for the final at the expense of New York City FC (2-0).
