Leon beat Los Angeles 1-0 to win CONCACAF Champions League
Mexican side Leon won the CONCACAF Champions League crown for the first time on Sunday, defeating Los Angeles FC 1-0 to seal a 3-1 aggregate victory over the Major League Soccer champions.
Argentine striker Lucas Di Yorio’s first-half goal proved decisive, Los Angeles goalkeeper John McCarthy failing to grasp the South American forward’s scuffed shot for the game’s only goal in the 20th minute.
The win ended Leon’s long wait to taste success in the CONCACAF region’s premier club competition after finishing runners-up in the 1993 tournament in its old format.
