KINGSTON, Jamaica — LA Galaxy delivered a commanding performance to complete a comprehensive 6-0 aggregate victory over Jamaica’s Mount Pleasant Academy in the CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16. The second leg, played under rainy conditions at the National Stadium on Thursday night, saw the MLS side secure a 3-0 win, mirroring their first-leg dominance.
Brazilian forward Gabriel Pec continued his spectacular form, adding two more goals to his first-leg hat-trick. The scoring opened in the 18th minute when João Klauss found the net, effectively extinguishing any lingering hopes of a Jamaican comeback. Pec then demonstrated his clinical finishing with goals in the 62nd and 87th minutes, bringing his personal tally to five across the two-match series.
Despite a spirited start from the Jamaican champions, who pressed aggressively in search of an early goal, the quality gap between the teams became increasingly apparent. Mount Pleasant’s best opportunity came in the 58th minute when Warner Brown bypassed goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski but sent his shot into the side netting of an open goal.
The match marked the Jamaican debut of German international Marco Reus, who entered as a substitute in the 66th minute. However, his appearance remained relatively low-key amidst Galaxy’s dominant team performance. The official attendance was recorded at just 1,765 spectators, whose hopes for a miraculous turnaround were ultimately dashed by Galaxy’s professional execution.
