Key points

  • Son Heung-min provided his 12th league assist but LAFC lost 1-3 to bottom-placed Kansas City

AI summary

LAFC's form is deteriorating rapidly. After ending their winless run with a 2-0 victory over New York Red Bulls, they immediately suffered a heavy defeat to the Western Conference's basement dwellers, undoing that progress. Son Heung-min's assist proved insufficient to prevent the collapse.

MLS officials have ranked LAFC 11th in their power rankings. Despite currently sitting sixth, their prospects of maintaining a playoff position look bleak with eight matches remaining. Manager Dos Santos acknowledged his side's first-half shortcomings after the match, while supporters are increasingly calling for a change in the dugout.
