LAFC beat León in historic comeback to advance in Concacaf Champions League

Error 0:

LAFC had a seemingly insurmountable task coming into Thursday’s Concacaf Champions League match. The Black & Gold would need to score three goals to push past León after the Mexican team finished the first leg with a 2-0 advantage last week.

When you have Carlos Vela and Diego Rossi on your squad, apparently anything is possible, as the pair led the way as LAFC scored three unanswered goals and shell-shocked León at Banc of California Stadium for a 3-2 aggregate win.

LAFC made some history with their feat: it was the first time an MLS team in the Concacaf Champions League had come back from a 2-0 deficit to advance — and they did it against a León team that sits No.
