MEXICO CITY (AP) \u2014 nashville sc<\/span> 1-0 victory over Club America Honey Mukhtar<\/span> Qualified with Tuesday’s second-half goal CONCACAF Champions Cup<\/span> First semi-final.<\/p>\nMukhtar scored in the 51st minute to seal a spot in the Final Four against the Seattle Sounders vs. UANL Tigres series winner.<\/p>\n
The first leg, played a week ago in Nashville, ended in a goalless draw.<\/p>\n
Club America, seven-time Champions Cup winners, was aiming for its first regional title since 2016.<\/p>\n
In the second half, Club Am\u00e9rica fans shouted homophobic chants at goalkeeper Brian Schwake, causing referee Walter Lopez to stop the match several times.<\/p>\n
The chant became a problem in the sports world. 2014 brazil world cup<\/span>.<\/p>\nLAFC wins against Cruz Azul<\/h2>\n
Dennis Bouanga saved the game with a late penalty. L.A.F.C.<\/span> They drew 1-1 with defending champions Cruz Azul and advanced to the semi-finals.<\/p>\nGabriel Fernandes took the lead in the 18th minute with a penalty, but Bouanga leveled the score with a right-footed shot from the spot deep in stoppage time.<\/p>\n
LAFC won the first leg 3-0 with two goals from David Martinez and will face the winner of the next series. Toluca FC<\/span> And LA Galaxy.<\/p>\n“We know we lost a great club, a great champion and a team that gave us a lot of problems. Qualifying was tough,” LAFC coach Mark dos Santos said. “Right now, there is no favorite to win. All the players who made it to the semifinals are strong.”<\/p>\n
Former Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris finished with eight saves for LAFC, who are looking to reach their third final of the competition after losing in the 2020 and 2023 championship games.<\/p>\n
The 39-year-old Frenchman’s eight saves were the most in 102 games in all competitions for LAFC.<\/p>\n
Gonzalo Piovi was sent off in the 90th minute for a tackle on Bouanga, leaving Cruz Azul with 10 men.<\/p>\n
“Today we had 31 shots and we played against a world champion goalkeeper, so we didn’t have a great night,” Cruz Azul coach Nicolas Larcamon said.<\/p>\n
The Mexican club, who have won the Champions Cup seven times, were aiming to emulate Club Am\u00e9rica, the last team to win back-to-back titles in 2014-15 and 2015-16.<\/p>\n
