Little has separated two of the top organizations in MLS in recent years other than their style of play. They meet for the first time since a memorable MLS Cup title match in November.
For Aaron Long, it only made sense that the Los Angeles Football Club faced the Philadelphia Union in the MLS Cup final.
Very little has separated Major League Soccer’s top point-earning and goal-scoring organizations other than their style of play, giving Long the unmistakable impression last November that “the right two teams that should be in the final” made it. Five months on from that epic result the two sides remain competitively tethered, playing their way into the CONCACAF Champions League semifinal – Wednesday night at Subaru Park on the banks of the Delaware River, with the second leg set for next Tuesday at BMO Stadium.
Long’s vantage point might have shifted after signing with LAFC in January, but the defender’s impression of the league’s most compelling East-West confrontation is unchanged ahead of their two-leg Champions League clash.
