Major League Soccer's Los Angeles FC and Mexican side Tigres will meet in the final of the CONCACAF Champions League on Tuesday in Orlando, Fla., after both sides were victorious in their semifinal matches on Saturday night.
Carlos Vela scored goals in the 46th and 47th minutes to rally his LAFC to a 3-1 win over Mexican side Club América.
La conversación sobre si la Major League Soccer finalmente alcanzó a la Liga MX es siempre un tema de debate. Especialmente si en las semifinales de la Liga de Campeones de CONCACAF en este momento, el LAFC puede tener el apoyo de toda una liga.
Desafortunadamente, el juego MLS All-Star 2020 que habría enfrentado al Liga MX All-Stars contra el MLS All-Stars fue cancelado debido a la COVID-19. También se cancelaron la Copa de las Ligas 2020 y la Copa Campeones 2020. El Juego de MLS All-Star 2021 todavía está planeado bajo el mismo formato, así que crucemos los dedos.
Atlanta United named Gabriel Heinze as head coach Friday, ending a five-month search for a new manager. Heinze, 42, most recently coached Velez Sarsfield (2017-20) in his native Argentina.

Cruz Azul’s return to the pitch on Wednesday evening against LAFC in the CONCACAF Champions League was unlike anything you’ll ever see again.
I like to wait until clubs and players come face-to-face with Newcastle United before I pass judgement on them — I have yet to form an opinion on such things as Bayern Munich and Lionel Messi — but I’m now ready to give you the Tifo Football breakdown of Marcelo Bielsa’s freewheeling side: They’re much better than Newcastle.
The 2020 Concacaf Champions League resumed last night with leg two of Olimpia versus Montreal — 280 days after the Honduran side had disappointed 23,000 fans inside the Impact’s Olympic Stadium by snatching a crucial 2-1 road win.
Despite having to play the return leg at Exploria Stadium in Orlando — where the remainder of the competition will be staged — Olimpia advanced on away goals after Montreal could only find one through Amar Sejdič.
Thierry Henry is out; Olimpia plays Tigres in the semifinals on Saturday.
Three years ago, it looked like Anthony Precourt was ready to pack things up in Columbus and take one of the 10 charter MLS clubs south to Austin. Everyone outside of Texas’ weirdest city grew to despise Precourt for trying to rip the Crew from America’s heartland.
History was made at the MLS Cup final on Saturday night. Kathryn Nesbitt became the first woman to officiate a championship match in a major men’s professional sport in North America.
Mesut Özil hasn’t featured in an Arsenal game since March 7. The German midfielder has been shunned from the first team and was even left out of the Gunners’ Premier League and Europa League squads. With no playing time in sight, perhaps an Özil MLS move could happen in the near future.
According to an ESPN source, the 32-year-old said he is open to the idea of playing in the U.S. with an MLS club. His ludicrous £350,000-per-week contract with Arsenal ends in the summer, meaning a free transfer to MLS would be a real possibility.
Columbus Crew midfielder Darlington Nagbe confirmed on social media Friday that he tested positive for COVID-19.
His post on Twitter came one day after the Crew listed both Nagbe and fellow midfielder Pedro Santos as "medically not cleared to play" against the Seattle Sounders in the MLS Cup final on Saturday.
