Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC), the MLS side featuring South Korean captain Son Heung-min, have been eliminated from the Leagues Cup — a tournament contested by 36 clubs from Major League Soccer and Mexico's Liga MX — after finishing fifth in the opening group phase. LAFC collected seven points, including a 5-3 shootout win in their final match, but were overtaken by Austin FC and Chicago Fire FC, who both won on the final day to claim the last qualification spots. Son played throughout the group stage but failed to register an official goal, though he did convert his attempt in Wednesday's shootout.
