We said: Los Angeles FC 3-1 Sporting Kansas City

 After missing the playoffs for the first time in club history, we are seeing the LAFC we have all been accustomed to this season, as their speed, passing, and clinical finishing has overwhelmed their opponents to this point of the campaign. KC have been one of the more underwhelming sides so far this season, and we could see them get burned by LA through the middle of the field, an area that they have struggled to close down.
