I’m very happy for him.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Absolute magic from Eddie Segura at 90+1′ against Toluca for the game’s first goal! \ud83e\udd2f pic.twitter.com\/rMQjNyGwMx<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Major League Soccer (@MLS) August 9, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n The goal and the win keep LAFC alive in the tournament.<\/p>\n After earning two points from a 5-4 penalty-shootout win<\/a> over Chivas, the Black & Gold are on five points.<\/p>\n Dos Santos & Co. know they’ll almost certainly need a win in Wednesday’s Phase One finale against Quer\u00e9taro (10:30 pm ET | Apple TV<\/a>) to advance to the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n But despite tired legs and a crowded regular-season schedule looming, a dramatic win over the reigning Concacaf Champions Cup<\/a> winners gives LAFC everything to play for.<\/p>\n “It’s hard, but right now we have put ourselves in a position that we could arrive in the final eight,” said Dos Santos. “So we have to go for it.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
