LAFC vs. Sounders: Highlights, stats, quotes

Using a lineup that features eight changes from the weekend, the Seattle Sounders turned in arguably their worst performance of the season in a 4-0 loss to LAFC on Wednesday. The Sounders kept it close in the first half and were a little unlucky not to go into the break tied 1-1, but the game quickly unraveled in the second half as LAFC scored three unanswered goals.
