You can share them about how you like, as Herc was saying, and everybody in behind understanding that, doing their jobs.

This is a good LAFC team, but led by a front three that have an understanding and a real chemistry between each other.

That, again, just play with pace that nobody really is able to keep up with.

To that point, there's a saying within football that you can't, you can't,

Lose a two-leg tie.

You can't win a two-leg tie in the first leg, but you can certainly lose it.

Absolutely.

If things aren't going your way, you've just got to shut things down.

Today's not our day, but we can't afford to lose the tie in this first 90 minutes.

And that's what Cruz Azul thinks.

We're not going their way.

And rather than try to adjust and just shut it down and keep themselves in it,

They continued to play it as though it was all going to be decided on the night.

And in the end, they probably have lost this two-goal tie over the course of 90 minutes.

Unless LAFC do something silly, which I do not anticipate.

We could just show that on the counter-attack here.

Getting bodies forward quickly with pace.

No real hesitation in getting the ball forward vertically and with pace.

Paulinho tapping in after a very awkward finish, but a comfortable finish.

Ball just seems to find him.
