The Seattle Sounders lost to LAFC for the fourth time this season, this time falling 1-0 in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals on Wednesday at Starfire. The lone goal was provided by Denís Bouanga on a somewhat controversial penalty and the Sounders had a late equalizer from Jordan Morris disallowed on a tight offside call, but also struggled to create much danger.
