Stop me if you think you’ve heard this one before: the Seattle Sounders will face LAFC in the Western Conference semifinals. LAFC clinched their spot after beating the Vancouver Whitecaps 1-0 in Game 3 of their best-of-3 series on Friday.

This will be the second consecutive season in which the Sounders have met LAFC in this round of the playoffs, albeit this time at BMO Stadium. LAFC won last year’s playoff meeting 1-0. The match will be held on the weekend of Nov. 23-24, but an exact time and date have yet to be set.

This will also mark the fifth time this year the Sounders have played LAFC, spanning four different competitions. LAFC have won all four of the previous meetings by a collective score of 9-1 despite the Sounders hosting three of those matches. The last time the Sounders beat LAFC was on May 16, 2021, a span of 10 matches.
