Ilie Sanchez received a supportive message from his friend Carlos Vela after a disappointing Leagues Cup final in Columbus. Despite the loss, Sanchez is focused on moving forward and preparing for the next game with LAFC. Vela, who led LAFC to a MLS Cup victory last year, is currently enjoying free agency with his family. Sanchez and Vela have been teammates and share a history of success with LAFC.
LAFC is now turning their attention to the U.S. Open Cup semifinal against the Seattle Sounders. Head coach Steve Cherundolo is urging the team to let go of the past defeat and focus on the opportunity ahead. LAFC has a strong record against the Sounders, winning all three matches this year by a combined score of 8-1. Sanchez emphasized the need for the team to trust their abilities and continue their successful season.
The match between LAFC and the Seattle Sounders is set to take place on Wednesday at the Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila, Washington. With a spot in the U.S. Open Cup final on the line, LAFC is looking to overcome their recent disappointment and secure a chance to host the final at home next month. The team is focused on achieving their objective and maintaining their winning streak against the Sounders.
