FC Cincinnati got a goal back in the 67th minute when forward, Andrés Dávila, re-routed a ground cross from wingback Alvas Powell with a clever touch to beat Chivas goalkeeper Raúl Rangal at the near post.

Chivas, Cruz Azul, and Club America are among the leading Liga MX teams that faltered in the Leagues Cup, suffering notable losses against MLS rivals.

FC Cincinnati needs a result from its final Leagues Cup match to have a chance of advancing to the knockout rounds.

The Leagues Cup, first introduced in 2019, pits the best clubs from Major League Soccer against those from Mexico’s top professional league, Liga MX. It has led to some exciting action, as it gives each league the chance to earn bragging rights, along with the opportunity for clubs to take home a trophy.
