On Saturday, August 17, 2024, at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, the Eagles of America They face the Colorado Rapids of the MLS, for the match corresponding to the quarter-finals of the Leagues CUP 2024.
The Azulcremas reached this stage after beating St. Louis City SC 4-2, while the Colorado Rapids defeated the Diablos Rojos del Toluca by a score of two goals to one.
The match ended 0-0, so everything would be decided by the penalty spot. América had the victory in its hands, but Igor Lichnovsky missed his shot and everything went to sudden death. The shootout lasted so long that they had to shoot at the goalkeepers, and that’s when Luis Ángel Malagón missed his shot, costing the Águilas del América their elimination.
Luis Ángel Malagón missed the penalty and América is ELIMINATED from the 2024 Leagues Cup after losing to the Colorado Rapids!
