Alekzandur's late rally falls short in League Series One quarterfinals

Sporting Kansas City's FIFA gamer suffered a last-gasp loss on Saturday in the eMLS League Series One quarterfinals.

Alekzandur went wire to wire with top-seeded Austin FC's xbLeU in a two-legged, win-or-go-home battle that wasn't decided until the final seconds of the decisive second match.

After losing the first leg by a 1-0 scoreline, Alekzandur responded with a strong second-leg performance that saw the Kansas City native take the lead on three separate occasions. Trailing 3-2 in stoppage time, xbLeU showed his quality by scoring an equalizer to seal a 4-3 aggregate victory and eliminate Alekzandur from the competition.
