Portland is protesting the number of foreign players fielded by LAFC as they dropped the game in LA. The US Open Cup Adjudication and Discipline Panel will review this issue and give their decision shortly.
In related news, a player for LAFC made claims well after the game and after the dispute filed by the TImbers of racial abuse. He stated that players from the opponent made such comments, in as much as he did not name them, he will similarly not be named here. This must be dealt with quickly and swiftly as there is no cause for such things and it is not to be tolerated.
