Leagues Cup: Guadalajara wins the goal after a hard duel with Charlotte

Guadalajara wrestles victory against Charlotte in a stunning game ending

Tight match and hichcockian script Sunday night: Guadalajara eventually folded Charlotte FC At the end of the suspense. After a parity score (2-2) at the end of the regulatory time, these are finally the Chivas who had the last word in the shootout session (4-2). A success that allows them to remain fully in the race for qualification in the Leagues Cup.

And yet the meeting had started badly for the Chivas. On a defensive misconception, Gilberto Sepulveda inadvertently propelled the ball into his own nets as early as 11^e minute, offering Charlotte the advantage. There is no reason to doubt Guadalajara, who quickly regained his mind thanks to a clear shot by Richy Ledezma from outside the surface (24^e).

On the return of the changing rooms, Bryan Gonzalez took advantage of too loose a marking to catapult from the head a precise center in the nets and give his own advantage (66^e). We thought the Chivas were on their way to a quiet success, but it wasn't counting on Raul Rangel's misguided free-kick at the end of the game, which Kerwin Vargas took advantage of to equalize the 90^e.

Touched but not sunk, Rangel turned into a hero during the shooting session. The Mexican goalkeeper stopped Tyger Smalls' attempt, sealing a precious victory for Guadalajara.

Monterrey stands out against the Red Bulls at the end of the suspense

In another poster of the Leagues Cup, Monterrey had to work to overcome the New York Red BullsSunday in Cincinnati. After a tight match and a perfect tie (1-1), the Rayados finally won the shots on the goal, winning their five attempts.

New York hit first. Julian Hall, well launched by Daniel Edelman in the back of the defense, opened the score to 19^e. But the Mexican replica did not wait: Sergio Canales took advantage of a balloon released by Carlos Coronel to equalize the 38^e minute, scoring his second goal of the tournament.

The turning point of the meeting took place during the shooting session. While Coronel had initially repelled Luis Reyes's strike, the referee ordered to remove it because of a too early step from the goalkeeper out of his line. The second attempt was good for Reyes, who sent Monterrey to the next round.

Juarez dompte Cincinnati after night

FC Juarez has also signed a small feat by imposing against the FC Cincinnati, in a meeting where emotions have been felt from one camp to another. Leading two goals in the second period, the Bravos saw their lead evaporate, before winning 4-3 on the goal thanks to a decisive shutdown by Sebastian Jurado.

It all started well for the Mexicans. Ricardo Antonio had opened the score on an offering by Castilho, before the latter doubled the second period. But Cincinnati, far from abdiquer, came back to height thanks to a beautiful inspiration from Evander (72^e) and then on a goal against his unhappy camp.

During the goal shooting session, Evander had the opportunity to equalize again, but his penalty was pushed back by Jurado, impeccable on his line. Juarez left again with a victory full of character that allowed him to dream bigger in this Leagues Cup.
