SAC Relays<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Limping into the pause in play for Major League Soccer after exiting the CONCACAF Champions Cup on Wednesday, LAFC returned to BMO Stadium in search of some nurturing love from their supporters on Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p>The visiting Houston Dynamo had something else in mind, taking a 4-1 victory to return the favor following LAFC\u2019s road win at Shell Energy Stadium at the end of February.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery time we lost the ball, it seemed like we didn\u2019t have the energy, the capacity to deal with their three players in transition,\u201d said LAFC head coach Marc Dos Santos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur guys are pushing,\u201d he said. \u201cGreat attitude. Great mentality. But there\u2019s moments when we feel flat. I feel it even sometimes in the building. It\u2019s just hard right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Winning five of the last six games across all competitions entering Sunday, including a trio of 1-0 MLS wins, the Dynamo entered the weekend with the fourth fewest goals in MLS.<\/p>\n<p>They scored twice in just over half an hour to secure an advantage that they did not relinquish.<\/p>\n<p>In the 25th minute, left-footed American midfielder Jack McGlynn\u2019s perfect one-time shot from outside the box landed in the upper 90 at the far post for his first goal of the season.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>That was Houston\u2019s first shot on target. Their second, off a free kick in the 34th minute after referee Drew Fischer whistled LAFC\u2019s Stephen Eust\u00e1quio for a foul outside the 18, made it 2-0.<\/p>\n<p>Fischer and Eust\u00e1quio were familiar with each other following an encounter at BMO Stadium on March 7, when the Canadian referee bumped into his countryman, leading to a leg injury that forced the LAFC midfielder to miss a month and a half. This time their interaction preceded Brazilian attacker Guilherme\u2019s free kick that glanced past Hugo Lloris off Mark Delgado\u2019s left foot.<\/p>\n<p>A few moments later, fullback Sergi Palencia took a knock and was immediately removed for Ryan Raposo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we lost an important player to injury, maybe not a good one,\u201d Dos Santos said. \u201cIt just bothers me that all these games, the lack of recovery, it\u2019s hard. It\u2019s hard to lose guys like that.\u201d<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Fatigued and disjointed, LAFC (6-3-3, 21 points) continued to struggle with chance creation, particularly during first halves.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=4264\">Rudy Chapa and high school track\u2019s oldest record<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Without a shot on target up to that point, LAFC found momentary life before heading to the locker room when Nathan Ordaz, starting in place of Denis Bouanga, who was suspended due to yellow card accumulation, finished a cross from Jacob Shaffelburg that was helped along by Eust\u00e1quio.<\/p>\n<p>Ordaz\u2019s second goal of the year in MLS was his first since a season-opening win against Lionel Messi\u2019s Inter Miami at the Memorial Coliseum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe might be tired, but not 4-1 tired,\u201d Ordaz said. \u201cWe\u2019re all winners and we expect better from each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whatever hope LAFC had coming out of the locker room quickly disappeared as Houston (6-5-0, 18 points) sealed the match.<\/p>\n<p>Former LAFC forward Mateusz Bogusz scored his first against his old club, collecting a rebound off his own shot in the box by beating Eddie Segura to the ball and rolling a second attempt to the back of the net.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Segura, a 29-year-old Colombian center back who joined LAFC in 2019 and endured multiple knee surgeries since arriving, surpassed Carlos Vela for the club lead in MLS regular season appearances (153). He also has the most appearances (198) in all competitions for the Black &amp; Gold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, and for everyone here, this has been a huge step in both my life and my career,\u201d Segura said in Spanish. \u201cI feel very happy and proud to represent these colors; every time I have the opportunity to step onto the pitch, I try to give 100%. And well, becoming the player with the most [regular season] appearances today truly fills me with pride.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, when we don\u2019t get the results we want, well, naturally, we all feel that pain and that intense desire to achieve positive outcomes. But when those results elude us, that is precisely the moment to stand firm, to acknowledge where we are falling short, and to put in the work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adding to his ledger versus LAFC, including a game-winner in April 2025 for his first goal as a Dynamo player, McGlynn\u2019s 55th-minute brace came with time and space in the box to pick out the far corner on another first-time shot.<\/p>\n<p>The loss, in front of an announced crowd of 21,531, matched LAFC\u2019s worst home defeat of the season, which came April 19 against San Jose after another trip to Mexico for CONCACAF play.<\/p>\n<p>A weary LAFC departs for an extended road trip to St. Louis for a match Wednesday followed by another Saturday at Nashville, before hosting Seattle on May 24, heading into the World Cup pause that will last through mid-July.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to make sure we get points before that,\u201d Dos Santos said, \u201cbut I can tell you the break is going to be really good for us.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=4263\">Track legend Allyson Felix eyes comeback and spot in LA Olympics<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAFC suffers a 4-1 loss to Houston, which gets two goals from Jack McGlynn and one from former LAFC forward Mateusz Bogusz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4014,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-facts","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
