It was a Cagey first half between the two teams for a Pro Club America -Mixed in Los Angeles. With how much there was at stake with a berth in the club World Cup on the line, it makes sense why most of the game was played in midfield, where each could neutralize the other. Both teams wanted to make adjustments in the second half of the game, but one mistake by Marco Delgado seemed like it would hand over the game to America.

Delgado polluted their captain, Erick Sanchez, just in the box and admitted a penalty that America would not miss. The black and gold continued to make offensive replacements to push the pace after they had allowed that goal, and they paid off their Talisman, Denis Bouanga, and helped Igor Jesus from a corner kick in the 89th minute to force extra time.

After he had made attacking changes to insist their equalizer, Lafc was set to keep their feet on the gas in extra time, and it paid off and dominated the opportunities in the competition. Lafc Outshot Club America 19 to Nine and placed eight shots on goal, while he was the only team that scored open game during the game.

Replacement of the Club Leon, which were removed from the World Cup club because he does not fail to make rules for multiple club ownership, Lafc does not have much time to prepare for the tournament, which starts on 14 June. Club Leon and Pachuca Both are owned by the Pachuca group, and although there were plans to sell one, they did not come out on time. The first competition for Lafc is on June 16, opposite Chelsea, and the preparation must start immediately. A special transfer window will be opened from June 1 to June 10, so that teams participating in the club World Cup can strengthen their squadrons, but given the Major League Soccer Roster restrictions, Lafc cannot add as much as some of the other teams participate in the tournament.

But for now they will not think about that, because this is a groundbreaking moment for a club that has only existed since 2018. They can rub shoulders with clubs with an enormous history such as Chelsea and go show What they can do on the global stage in addition to the other 32 teams participating in the CWC this summer.
