The party in Los Angeles was just beginning, Carlos Vela received the ball from the foot of Cifuentes, the Mexican faced the goalkeeper and scored from underneath to make it 3-0 and the crowd went into jubilation.

Charlotte was just getting up from the blow and Arango knocked them down again, the LAFC striker received the ball inside the area and scored the fourth goal.

The people in the stadium were happy, but the icing on the cake was missing, Blessing pressed the accelerator, found himself in front of the goalkeeper, shot, the goalkeeper deflected the ball, but it hit his teammate Walkes and the ball went into the goal for Charlotte's fifth own goal to close the game.
