However, the twelfth match for the LA Force this season will go on, as the boys in gold and black will look to secure 3 more points in the regular season standings.
LA Force’s Domination Against Arizona Monsoon
After being crowned Western Region NISA Cup Champions last Sunday, the LA Force have all the confidence to defeat Monsoon FC. Through the first three matches between the two clubs, the Force have outscored the Monsoon 10-2, with Michael Salazar leading the way. El Capitan has scored twice in both of his last two appearances against the Monsoon this 2024 season. With history looking to repeat itself, Dekel Keinan’s squad are going to want to add on to their 4th highest goal total in all of NISA with 22. The LA Force averaged 3.33 goals per match against the Monsoon this season, and Force fans should anticipate another shootout for the boys in gold and black. Make sure to tune in on NISA + to watch the LA Force in action !
A Chance For First !
The LA Force will be playing their twelfth match this week, and have a chance to take first place of the Western Conference with a win against the Monsoon. Irvine Zeta currently hold first place in the Western Conference with 25 points, but have already played twelve matches. With the Force one game behind at 11 games, this match provides an opportunity to jump ahead with one point, and place them in first with 26 points. With a victory on Wednesday, the true race for first place will kick off, as both Irvine Zeta and LA Force will fight to the very end to see who will be crowned Western Conference Champions.
2024 Regular Season Record: 7-2-2 ( 2nd in NISA Western Conference)
Goals Scored: 22 Goals Allowed: 10 Clean Sheets: 3
Player To Keep An Eye On:
Seth Torman GK #30: Torman has been an obvious leader for the defense in front of him, and it shows as Torman currently has 5 clean sheets in 10 starts.
Michael Salazar #9 : Having scored in his last 4 appearances, El Capitan will have many eyes on him as he intends on scoring his third goal in three matches against the Monsoon this season.
Monsoon FC Still Looking For Their First Win
Arizona Monsoon FC have struggled the entire season with a record 0-1-10, with their only draw coming from a 1-1 tie against Capo FC as both teams scored a goal in the final five minutes. The last five matches for the fairly new club have not gone according to plan, as the Monsoon have been outscored 14 to 5 in that time. Under new head coach, Carlos Padilla, the Monsoon will be looking forward to the offseason to see what changes can be made to the style of play, in order to compete against dominating competition like the Force and Zeta in the Western Conference.
However, the Monsoon can not be taken lightly as an upset can be the difference between first and second by the end of the regular season for the LA Force. Every match has to be approached the same for the boys in gold and black, and everyone will expect to see the same quality of play on display by the Force. Vamos Force !!!
2024 Regular Season Record: 0-1-10 ( 4th in NISA Western Conference)
