🚨 Champions Cup: LAFC avoid upset with stunning late winner | OneFootball

The second-legs of the Concacaf Champions Cup round-of-16 clashes are underway this week across Central and North America. 

Here is what has gone down so far. 

Alajuelense 1-2 LAFC

LAFC avoided being on the receiving end of a historic upset in the Champions Cup this evening, downing Costa Rican giants Alajuelense thanks to a stunning 92nd minute David Martínez winner. 

The hosts set the tone on the night with any early goal to go ahead on aggregate, but LAFC fought back to erase the deficit when Nathan Ordaz drove home a leveler. 

Just when it appeared the tie would be heading to extra-time, Venezuelan youngster David Martínez came off the bench to unleash a stunning winner from outside of the box. 

After avoiding the round-of-16 scare, LAFC will now await the winner of Cruz Azul and Monterrey.
