LAFC had been living by the comeback throughout the 2020 Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League but eventually died by it. Tigres UANL won its first CCL final in four attempts by scoring twice to erase a 1-0 deficit and win 2-1 at Exploria Stadium. Hugo Ayala and André-Pierre Gignac scored 12 minutes apart to turn the game around after Diego Rossi had given LAFC a 1-0 lead in the second half.
With LAFC’s loss, MLS clubs are now 0-4 in CCL finals.
“It’s hard to get the thoughts, immediately. We’re very disappointed,” LAFC Head Coach Bob Bradley said after the match.
