When Philadelphia Union and Los Angeles FC meet at the BMO Stadium for the second leg of the CONCACAF semi-finals, they'll meet having drawn the first leg 1-1.
Philadelphia hosted LAFC at Subaru Park last week on Wednesday where a late penalty from Daniel Gazdag gave the hosts the lead. The goal looked certain to give Philadelphia the win before an injury-time goal by Kelly Acosta equalized the game for LAFC.

LAFC were the last MLS team standing in 2022 and the only one still undefeated in the new season looking just as good, if not better so far this year.
With 18 points after eight games, they have had their best start to an MLS season, and they have been similarly impressive in the CCL, winning three games 3-0.
Philadelphia had a rough start to the domestic season, but it appears that they are rounding into shape as many had predicted, putting together a comfortable 4-2 victory at home against Toronto placing them back into a playoff position.
They've been far better defensively in the Champions League than they have been in the MLS, allowing only two of their five CCL games so far.
Both LAFC and Philadelphia will be coming into this fresh as both teams avoided having to play games on the weekend in MLS.
