Already up 3-0 in aggregate, the Black & Gold don’t let up and post another 3-0 win over the Whitecaps on Tuesday at BMO Stadium to reach the semifinals
Picking up where they left off in Vancouver, the Los Angeles Football Club completed a lopsided victory Tuesday and advanced to the CONCACAF Champions League semifinal round., the second leg of the series at BMO Stadium was essentially over before it began.The 34-year-old forward added another goal at the half-hour mark by chesting down a long pass over the top of the Whitecaps defense from midfielder Ilie Sanchez and calmly finishing with his left foot.
Midfielder Jose Cifuentes, assisted by Denis Bouanga, hammered LAFC’s third goal of the night to seal the emphatic win, 6-0 on aggregate. Unlike last month’s second leg against Costa Rican club Alajeulense, when LAFC saw a similar three-goal lead drop to one, any chance of a Whitecaps comeback was summarily dismissed by Steve Cherundolo’s hungry group.
Last year’s MLS Cup most valuable player finished with six saves as he protected LAFC’s third straight 3-0 win and fourth consecutive clean sheet. The Black & Gold have opened their 2023 campaign with seven shutouts in 10 games.
