Nightmare Wednesday for Liga MX in the Leagues Cup. The three clubs that took to the field in the Round of 16 round were dispatched by teams from Major League Soccer, some in the dramatic instance of penalties such as Pachuca, but others dragging the blanket like FC Juárez, which received a scandalous defeat.
LAFC 7-1 FC Juárez
Scandalous farewell for the Braves in the last game on Wednesday in the Leagues Cup. They were never a match for Carlos Vela’s LAFC, who showed all his magic with two real goals to lead the current MLS monarchs to their first victory of the tournament because, just like Pachuca as league champions, they received an automatic ticket to the knockout round.
In addition to the bomber’s double, the first of his goals with a serious mistake by goalkeeper Ramón Pasquel, Gabonese striker Denis Bouanga scored a hat-trick, while Ryan Hollingshead and Nathan Ordaz joined the Los Angeles party. The Juarense discount was by Amaury Escoto at minute 47, at that time the partial 2-1.
Mazatlan 1-2 Dallas FC
The Mexican ordeal began with Mazatlán FC, a team owned by magnate Ricardo Salinas Pliego, who lost 2-1 once morest Dallas FC in the first round of the followingnoon and thus said goodbye to his first international participation, leaving a pleasant taste in the mouth because They were very close to drawing on the hour, if it weren’t for a couple of spectacular saves by goalkeeper Maarten Paes.
Pachuca 0-0 Houston (3-5 penalties)
Debut and farewell, literally, for the Tuzos del Pachuca in the Leagues Cup. A team that was dismantled in several key positions and that, despite being directly classified to the Round of 16 for the title won in the Apertura 2022, might not overcome your first hurdle.
Héctor Herrera’s Houston Dynamo threw them out on penalties following the failure of the young Francisco Figueroa, the only element of the entire shootout who delivered his smooth shot and center to the goalkeeper of the eleventh Texan.
How many Mexican clubs are left in Leagues Cup?
Of the 12 that reached the Round of 16, nine remain alive, awaiting their results between Thursday and Friday to find out exactly how many will be in the Round of 16.
América, Tigres, Monterrey, Toluca, Cruz Azul, León, Atlas, Pumas and Querétaro, these last two with a match once morest each other, are the Mexican teams that remain in the Leagues Cup. In the worst case, only one will remain with life between UNAM and Gallos Blancos.
