LAFC thwarted any miraculous Cruz Azul comeback to book their passage to the semi-final. 

MLS teams notoriously struggle when trying to finish off Champions Cup ties in Mexico, but despite an early Gabriel Fernández goal from the spot, Marc Dos Santos' side were relatively comfortable in seeing out the tie. 

A stoppage-time Denis Bouanga spot-kick put the tie to bed and sparked a mass exodus in the Estadio Cuauhtémoc. 

Son Heung-min and co. will now await the winner of Toluca and LA Galaxy, potentially setting up a riveting LA derby in the semi-final.
