Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) have earned their second shootout victory in a continental tournament, with their Korean superstar Son Heung-min converting his spot kick. Son was the second of five successive LAFC kickers to score their penalties in a 5-3 shootout victory over Club Queretaro of Mexico's Liga MX at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on Wednesday (local time). This was LAFC's third and final match of the opening phase of the Leagues Cup, a tournament featuring 36 teams from Major League Soccer (MLS) and Liga MX. During the leagues phase, teams play three matches against opponents from the other league. The top four teams from each league will then advance to the knockout stage. In the first phase, a win is worth three points, a shootout victory is worth two points and a shootout loss is still good for one point. LAFC, who had a 5-4 shootout win over Chivas de Guadalajara and then defeated Toluca FC 1-0, finished the first round with seven points. LAFC are currently third on the MLS side, with Columbus Crew and Real Salt Lake having already qualified. Austin FC and Chicago Fire FC
