LAFC advances in the Concacaf Champions Cup with Lloris`s saves, while Seattle Sounders and FC Cincinnati face elimination.

LAFC has secured a place in the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals after a thrilling aggregate victory over Columbus Crew, finishing 4-2. Despite a setback in the second leg, where they lost 2-1, LAFC`s advancement was largely thanks to the outstanding performance of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, whose crucial saves kept the team in contention. Denis Bouanga`s late goal in stoppage time sealed the deal, ensuring LAFC`s progression in the tournament.

In contrast, Seattle Sounders FC faced disappointment as they were eliminated from the competition following a 4-1 defeat to Cruz Azul, ending their impressive 13-match unbeaten streak in the tournament. Meanwhile, FC Cincinnati also bowed out after a 4-2 aggregate loss to Tigres UANL, marking a challenging chapter for the club.

Looking ahead, FC Cincinnati 2 is set to take on New England Revolution II on Thursday, aiming to bounce back from their season-opening loss to Toronto FC II. The stakes are high as teams vie for glory in the competitive landscape of MLS NEXT Pro.
