LA FC, led by head coach Steve Cherundolo, is playing an away game against Austin in the 2025 Major League Soccer (MLS) at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas on the 13th (Korea time).
LA FC utilized a 4-2-3-1 tactic. Jeremy Ebovise is one-top. Timothy Tillman, Mark Delgado and Andrew Moran were located in the second line. Jaisong and Eddie Segura came out as defensive midfielders. The defense was handled by Ryan Hollingshead, Nkosi Tapari, Ryan Portiers and Sergi Palencia. The goal was defended by Hugo Lloris.
Austin was a 3-4-3 formation. Wolf, Podri and Buraki took the lead in the attack. John Gallagher, Ilie Sanchez, Pereira and Dessler made up the waist. Guillermi Viro, Hines-Ike and Djordjevic were present at the three-back. The goalkeeper's gloves were worn by Steward.
They were two teams with a 180 degree different atmosphere. Home team Austin has recently lost two consecutive league games. LA FC, on the other hand, was on a six-game winning streak. However, Son Heung-min and Dnie Buanga were away due to the A national team schedule. Son Heung-min and Buanga are currently considered the best offensive duo in MLS. In fact, he scored 18 goals from the game against Dallas on August 25 to Atlanta on October 6.
Austin actively attacked at the beginning of the game. I got a set piece opportunity in succession. But it wasn't finished. LA FC was ahead in ball possession, but failed to penetrate the opponent's side properly. It was only in the 17th minute of the first half that the first shot came out in a set piece situation.
There was a lackluster performance. Austin dug into the opponent's side and tried to find an opportunity, but it didn't come true. The two urgent teams continued their violent struggle. LA FC missed the post in the 41st minute, although Evovise's shot came out. The first half ended 0-0.
