The Alajuelense Sports League was very close to reaching the glorious comeback in the house of the LAFC in the round of 16 of the Champions of Concacaf.
Con alexander lopez as owner and denil maldonado y Ángel Tejeda on the bench, BMO Stadium hosted a tremendous match this Wednesday.
The “manudos” needed to make the difference following the 0-3 first leg at the Alejandro Morera Soto, but they were one goal away from achieving it following playing 90 sensational minutes on US soil.
Early in the match, the referee of the duel signaled a penalty in favor of the “Liga”, which knew how to take advantage of the maximum penalty through the former World Cup player Giancarlos Gonzáles for the provisional 0-1.
The alarms went off much more following the little gem Aaron Suárez converted in the second half, in the 52nd minute of the game. That is to say, the duel was missing an eternity and the Ticos were one goal away from leveling the overall score.
– Judgment –
LAFC was not confident, appealed to its referent in attack and, following a defensive error by Alajuelense, Carlos Vela sentenced Leonel Moreira’s goal and thus established the 4-2 overall and 1-2 in the game.
Ángel Tejeda came on in the 86th minute to replace Johan Venegas. Denil Maldonado had no action at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
