It was always going to be a tough ask for Los Angeles FC to go Club Leon and come away with an opening leg victory. The club’s first competitive match of 2020 was against one of Liga MX’s top sides in the CONCACAF Champions League, a competition that an MLS team is still yet to win.
Bob Bradley’s new-look squad lined up with a few new faces and veterans in hopes of getting a positive result on the road. What transpired was not the start to the season LAFC wanted. They to Leon in a consummate 2-0 defeat in which they were roundly outplayed.
