Mexican-American David Ochoa Unable to Rescue 2 points, LAFC vs Mazatlan FC

July 31, 2025 Joel Duran

David Ochoa

In downtown Los Angeles at BMO Stadium, Mexican-American goalkeeper David Ochoa had repeated opportunities to rescue two points for LAFC from Mazatlán FC but was unable to. He was only able to block on of twelve penalty kicks shot against him at the end of regulation. His Mexican counterpart Ricardo Rodriguez Mazzocco watched LAFC’s Denis Bouanga overshoot his second penalty shot, resulting in LAFC’s defeat. The penalty shootout followed LAFC’s inability to defend their 1-0 advantage earned after a goal by the young David Martinez. Consequently, LAFC’s advancement into the next round of Leagues Cup 2025 becomes less likely.

It has been a heartbreaking week for those of us in Southern California who love that Mexican and Latino immigrants are part of our communities. President Donald Trump’s administration has ordered US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to raid homes, construction sites, Home Depot stores, farms, car washes, swap-meets, and other places of business in California seeking to arrest and deport undocumented individuals. Consequently, community members expressed concern Mexican fans fearing or protesting deportations would not attend CONCACAF’s Gold Cup 2025 opening match between Mexico and Dominican Republic at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood California on Saturday June 14th, 2025.
