LAFC lose Concacaf Champions League final as Mortal Kombat tifo backfires

With Dr Dre in attendance, Los Angeles FC supporters unfurled a Mortal Kombat-styled tifo before kick-off before the MLS Cup champions fell to defeat in the Concacaf Champions League final.

On Wednesday, the Falcons were beaten 2-1 away from home in the first leg of the showpiece clash against Club León, with two first-half goals from the Mexican outfit proving the difference between the two sides. A 96th-minute consolation strike from Denis Bouanga did offer hope that LAFC could turn the tie around in the home leg four days later.

Fast forward to Sunday and it as was clear that the home team fans inside the BMO Stadium were hoping to inspire Steve Cherundolo's team to victory, with an intimidating atmosphere having built prior to kick-off.
