Los Angeles FC of an unpublished Gareth Bale and Philadelphia Union meet in the final of the North American Championship (mls), who will be playing for the first time in their history, after defeating Austin FC (3-0) and New York City FC (3-1), respectively.
The top two regular-season teams in each of the Western and Eastern conferences implemented the logic. And it is LAFC, present in MLS since 2018, that will host the Banc of California Stadium next Saturday.
A header from Colombian striker Cristian Arango after a corner from Mexican star Carlos Vela put LAFC on the right track in the first half (29′) against Austin.
Dominating, the Californian team squandered several chances, by their duo, but in the 62nd minute, their relentless pressure finally paid off. Another corner from Vela caused chaos in the penalty area and Argentine Maxi Urruti, who had just broken into the Texan team, was unable to control his header, which hit the target on his side. Ten minutes from the end, the Ghanaian side’s Kwadwo Opoku provided more coverage on the scoreboard, with a low shot.
In the other game, in the Eastern conference, Philadelphia was superb to knock off NYCFC, opening the scoring in the 57th minute through Argentine attacking midfielder Maximiliano Moralez.
Argentine forward Julián Carranza (65′), Hungarian Daniel Gazdag (67′) and Jamaican Cory Burke (76′) scored three goals in 11 minutes, knocking out defending champion New York.
