This week saw the conclusion of the first legs of the CONCACAF Champions Cup and the Copa Libertadores. Matches in both North and South America had a mix of excitement, missed chances, and some early advantages, leaving many outcomes still open for the second legs.
Pumas Collapse Gives SDFC an Edge
San Diego FC (SDFC) fans celebrated their team’s strong debut in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. The MLS Western Conference team outplayed Mexico City’s Pumas UNAM in a match that shifted dramatically after halftime.
After a goalless first half, SDFC increased their offensive pressure, and once they scored after the 60th minute, the game changed quickly. They netted four goals in a dominant final stretch, finishing with a 4–1 victory. Pumas managed a single goal with a stunning bicycle kick from Robert Morales, but it was overshadowed as SDFC turned a 1-0 halftime score into a convincing 4-1 win.
