Ghanaian duo make history

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Ghanaian duo Kwadwo Opoku and Latif Atta Blessing have won their first-ever Major League trophy with Los Angeles FC.

Opoku came on in the second half to replace Cristian Arango as the game was forced into extra-time following a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Banc of California Stadium.

In a dramatic extra-time, former Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale scored late in injury time to force the game into penalties as LAFC won the shootouts.

It was a historic day for the California-based club as they won the trophy for the first time just five years in the league.

LAFC got off to a great start after Kellyn Acosta scored the opener after 28 minutes.
