Tigres tied it up early in the second half, capitalizing on an unnecessary foul. Javier Aquino took down Lainez, setting up a free kick from well outside the box, but Juan Brunetta swung in a cross that found Edgar Lopez’s head and then the back of the net. Lopez had replaced Gignac at halftime and scored on his first touch.

Son Heung-min watched LAFC's Leagues Cup victory over Tigres ahead of his formal introduction on Wednesday as a new Los Angeles FC player in a record-breaking transfer for the MLS.

The former Tottenham Hotspur captain received a warm welcome at both Los Angeles International Airport and at Tuesday's LAFC game, following reports that he intends to join the MLS club on a league-record $26.5 million transfer fee. The crowd at BMO Stadium got rather loud when he was shown on the big screen.
