Los Angeles FC forward, Kwadwo Opoku, played a crucial role in securing his team’s qualification to the CONCACAF Champions League final, scoring in their 3-0 victory over Philadelphia Union at the BMO stadium.
The 21-year-old Ghanaian came off the bench in the 66th minute to replace Mateusz Bogusz and scored his team’s second goal of the game.
Timothy Tillman had given LAFC an early lead in the first half before Dennis Bouanga sealed victory in the final minute.
The Banc of California outfit won the series 4-1 on aggregate and will now face the winner of Liga MX’s Tigres UANL and Club León in the Cup competition final.
Opoku has scored two goals in six matches to help his team reach the final, and in the MLS, he has scored one goal in eight matches for the Los Angeles-based franchise.
He was part of the squad that made history by winning LAFC’s first-ever MLS title.
