Olivier Giroud made his second Los Angeles FC appearance as a substitute as the Black and Gold defeated the Seattle Sounders 3-0 in the quarter-finals of the Leagues Cup last weekend. However, MLS old boy Kei Kamara stole the show with a goal for LAFC. Kamara's performance could merit him starting ahead of Giroud again as Steve Cherundolo's side takes on the Colorado Rapids in the semi-finals.
