Los Angeles (USA), Apr 22 (EFE).- Los Angeles FC (LAFC) maintained its unbeaten record in the MLS on Saturday by drawing 1-1 on their visit to Nashville.
Hany Mukhtar, MVP of the league last year, put the locals ahead in the first half, taking advantage of a loose ball in the Los Angeles area.
However, Denis Bouanga sealed the equalizer for LAFC in the second half with a crisp shot from outside the area.
Steve Cherundolo, LAFC coach, opted for the rotations for this duel in which, for example, the Mexican Carlos Vela was not part of the starting eleven and entered the match already in the second half.
LAFC had just beaten the LA Galaxy in the Los Angeles derby last week (2-3) and, after eight games this MLS season, they have five wins and three losses.
Reigning MLS Cup champions, LAFC will face the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions League semifinals, whom they precisely defeated last year in the MLS Cup final.
The Philadelphia team beat Toronto 4-2 this Saturday with a hat-trick from Dane Mikael Uhre.
