LAFC Falls Flat Against Minnesota United FC in Home Finale
Joaquin Pereyra scored twice as Minnesota United scored on all three shots on target to stay in the MLS Cup Playoff race.
- On Sunday, Minnesota United defeated Los Angeles Football Club 3-1 at BMO Stadium, marking the Loons' first victory at the venue since 2019.
- After a winless September left their MLS Cup Playoff chances looking "kaput," the Loons went unbeaten in October as losses by Real Salt Lake, Colorado, and Seattle opened the door wider.
- Midfielder Joaquin Pereyra scored twice, including a left-footed finish in the 29th minute, while defender Cherrion Valerius added his first MLS goal in the 34th minute.
- Los Angeles Football Club finished its home slate with a 9-4-4 record, though Sergio Vasquez prevented a shutout with a 90th-minute bicycle kick.
- Minnesota United will host San Jose at 6 p.m. Saturday at Allianz Field, while Los Angeles Football Club visits Seattle on Decision Day with nothing left to play for.
