LAFC's Western Conference Final defeat was only their second at home in 2019.
The Black and Gold took the lead on a set piece strike, only to concede three straight goals. Along the way, however, LAFC had four different appeals to the referee for a penalty kick. Watch the plays below:
36th Minute
With the Sounders up 2-1, LAFC supporters were shouting for a penalty kick after Carlos Vela went down in the box on the challenge from Sounders center back Xavier Arreaga. No penalty called.

LAFC wanted a hand ball called on Seattle defender Xavier Arreaga, but referee Jair Marrufo wasn't having it.

Did Sounders center back Kim Kee-hee commit a penalty kick foul when the ball made contact with his arm? Marrufo said play on.
