Big disillusionment for Los Angeles FC. After winning his first quarter-first quarter of the Concacaf Champions League against Inter Miami last week (1-0), the Californian franchise was overthrown on the return, this night from Wednesday to Florida (3-1).
The LAFC had however started the meeting well by quickly opening the brand through long (9th). But the Floridians were able to count on a Lionel Messi in the big evenings.
The octuple Ballon d'Or first equalized with a cross shot (35e). Then, the Argentinian world champion offered himself a double on penalty by deceiving Hugo Lloris (84e). The former captain had touched himself earlier in the match on the realization of Allen (61e).
Giroud replacing and always silent
Replacing at kick -off, Olivier Giroud came into play in the 87e minute. The top scorer in the history of the Blues, who lives a complicated season on the other side of the Atlantic, did not allow the LAFC to rebuild and therefore avoid the elimination of his family.
Since the start of the season, which started last February in the United States, Olivier Giroud spent more time on the replacement bench than on the green rectangle. The 38 -year -old striker did not score the slightest goal in 8 appearances (all competitions combined).
