Chivas lose on penalties to LAFC in their Leagues Cup debut | OneFootball

Chivas fell tonight in their Leagues Cup debut against Los Angeles FC, in a match that was decided from the penalty spot.

During the first half, Denis Bouanga opened the scoring with a great four-touch goal. However, Roberto Alvarado spoiled the party in Los Angeles, as he fired home the equalizer four minutes later.

Over the next 45 minutes, both sides tried at all costs to finish the match in regulation time, but it was not possible and, under the rules, which do not allow draws, they went to a penalty shootout.

In that stage, Castañeda missed the first attempt for the Red-and-Whites and, although Delgado also missed for LAFC, the home side celebrated the win after a great stop on Chivas’ final shot to claim the extra point.
