LAFC, which beat Austin 2-1 in Game 1, plays at second-seeded Vancouver in the one-game Western Conference semifinals starting Nov. 22 or Nov. 23 in a winner-take-all match.
It was the fourth straight semifinals berth for LAFC, a run unmatched in that span.
Son Heung-min added a goal and an assist for No. 3 seed LAFC. Jeremy Ebobisse replaced Son in the 88th minute and capped the scoring in the third minute of stoppage time.
