Qualifiée pour la Coupe des champions de Concacaf réunissant les meilleures équipes d’Amérique centrale et du Nord, la bande de Lloris et Giroud s’est inclinée en 1/16es de finale aller sur la pelouse de Colorado (2-1). Mihailovic a été le bourreau des Frenchies de la côte ouest américaine avec un doublé en deuxième période (48’, 80’). Sur une passe décisive de Denis Bouanga, le LAFC a réduit le score par Long (87’). Ainsi les Californiens conservent leur chance d’accéder au tour suivant lors du match retour qui se disputera mardi 25 février sur leur pelouse. Entre-temps, Lloris, Giroud & Co devront aussi réussir leur entrée en matière lors de la 1re journée du championnat de MLS où ils recevront Minnesota.

The Colorado Rapids earned a 2-1 victory against Los Angeles FC in the first leg of their Round One series as the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup continued Tuesday at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado. The two MLS sides met for the first time in the CCC and were inseparable on the scoreboard through the first half. Djordje Mihailovic delivered the opening goal in the 48’ by converting a penalty kick attempt for the home side. 

Kevin Cabral threatened in the box for the Rapids’ second in the 54’, but LAFC goalkeeper Hugo Lloris stopped the attempt, with Ryan Hollingshead blocking the second chance opportunity to allow Lloris to collect the ball. Hollingshead had a chance to get the visitors on the board in the 69’, striking a left-footed attempt into the hands of Zack Steffen. Jeremy Ebobisse came off the bench and struck on goal for LAFC in the 77’, but Steffen again collected the ball on a night where he amassed six saves. Mihailovic doubled the Rapids lead in the 80’, placing the ball in the top left corner of goal on a free kick attempt to earn his brace. Aaron Long cut the deficit in the 87’ with a header inside the box on a delivery from Denis Bouanga, earning an away goal for LAFC. Bouanga used his footwork to find space in the box and strike in the 90’, but Steffen denied any chance at an equalizer. The two sides will meet in the second leg next Tuesday at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
