Another Clinical Finish
Tesho Akindele netted his second goal of 2020 on Saturday night, serving as the eventual game-winner for the Lions in punching their ticket to the Semifinals. Saturday’s finish proved just as critical as Akindele’s first in the tournament, the third goal in a 3-1 victory over NYCFC that jumped the Lions over the Union on goal differential in Group A. Akindele now has 12 finishes since joining the Club prior to the 2019 season and recently agreed to a contract extension with the Lions.
Last Time Against LAFC
The last time the Lions faced off against LAFC came on September 7, 2019 in a match that resulted in a 2-2 draw at Exploria Stadium.
