After securing 3-0 leads on the road in previous CCL rounds, returning to L.A. tied at one goal this time is a more stressful scenario for Coach Steve Cherundolo’s group.
The Philadelphia Union has not defeated the Los Angeles Football Club once during the half dozen times the MLS clubs have squared off.
“We knew before the game in Philly started it would be like this,” said LAFC defender Sergi Palencia, who watched from the bench as the Union dictated terms of the semifinal match. “That’s always a lot to handle for any team,” Cherundolo said before the opening contest. “I felt we dealt with it pretty well. Most of the goals have come off of set pieces. The run of play, not too many. So it’s nothing we don’t know. But it’s much the same as they do with everybody. They don’t have a special recipe against us.”
Ending 1-1 conjures the specter of another penalty kick shootout to decide a major moment between two of the best teams in North America over the past five years.
