In the 205th version of the Clasico Joven, LAFC had no reservations about Cruz Azul prioritizing their upcoming game against America on Saturday. The decision was expensive, leading to a spectacular 3-0 fight to the Black & Gold, which effectively leaves them out of the Concacaf Champions League. The Los Angeles side, who are currently on a winning streak, deployed their best players in a tournament that is important to them, aiming to demonstrate why they are the best team in Major League Soccer ( MLS ) at BMO Stadium. With ambitions from North Korean Son Heung-Min and a brace from Venezuelan David Martinez, one of which was a magnificent attack, they won 3-0 over Cruz Azul. Maybe coach Nicolas Larcamon believed that the sport was now decided because they are the reigning champions of this opposition after defeating the Vancouver Whitecaps next year. However, his error turned out to be expensive, leading to a crushing defeat that puts them on the verge of extinction and yet another of their vintage and historical" Cruz Azul-style" falls.

LAFC simply demonstrated on the field why, with nine wins and two draws, scoring 27 goals and allowing just three in 11 matches ( counting MLS and Concacaf ), they are still undefeated. Instead of the Argentinean people Gonzalo Piovi, Carlos Rotondi, and Omar Campos, who naturally became easy prey for their competitors, they made Cruz Azul pay dearly for their courage by using players like Jorge Rodarte, Amaury Garcia, and Omar Chagoya in their up line.

Cruz Azul: plenty of possession, much finishing

The Cementeros were ineffective because of their lateral transitions, which included the French-Gabonese Denis Bouanga and the South Korean Son Heung-Min, the Venezuelan David Martinez, and the French Mathieu Choiniere, which allowed them to open the ranking with scores of 2-0 and 2-0. LAFC did not want to break Cruz Azul's homeostasis when European Timothy Tillmann won a soft ball in midfield and launched it into space for Quebec local Mathieu Choin In the 39th minute, Choiniere sent a long ball to Venezuelan David Martinez, who is also on the right wing, to make the 2-0 happen quickly. He slammed the ball between the legs of Colombian Kevin Mier and burst into the box with explosive speed to defeat the Cruz Azul captain. In the second half, LAFC quickly shattered Cruz Azul's fighting spirit. With a low, driven shot across goal that beat Colombian goalkeeper Kevin Mier, the team never managed to keep their composure on the pitch and appeared ineffective, allowing Cruz Azul to score another well-crafted goal that would ultimately prove decisive. Larcamon attempted to make a comeback by signing Omar Campos, Carlos Rotondi, Luka Romero, and Nicolas Ibanez, but they were unsuccessful, failing to do so. Cruz Azul is currently in the 2026 edition, and this means that the Cementeros will need to perform miracles on Tuesday at Puebla's Cuauhtemoc Stadium in order to avoid elimination. However, the damage was done, and the 2026 edition's weight still looms over the Sky Blues.
