There was a rivalry match against the San Jose Earthquakes of the LA Galaxy, which was known as the California Clasico, and is hence considered one of the fiercest and longest-running rivalries in American soccer. A crosstown rivalry, El Trafico was born when Los Angeles FC joined the league in 2018.
