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.
