In a high-stakes home match against América, who advanced to the playoffs after León's disqualification, LAFC clinched the final ticket to the FIFA Club World Cup.
Details: The first half was a cautious affair, with both teams wary of missing their shot at the group stage. There were only six shots combined, with just two on target—and neither goalkeeper was truly tested.
The drama escalated when LAFC midfielder Marco Delgado committed a foul in his own box, gifting América a penalty. Bryan Rodríguez made no mistake from the spot, breaking the deadlock in the 64th minute—0-1 in favor of América.
LAFC found their equalizer late in the game: Denis Bouanga delivered a superb corner, met by midfielder Igor Jesus, who hammered the ball home—1-1. The match headed into extra time.
It was in extra time that Bouanga, this time assisted by Giroud, sealed the victory at 2-1, sending LAFC to the Club World Cup!
