The league MX and the MLS
confirmed this Thursday the Leagues Cup Showcase, a home run that will serve as a small preview of the Leagues Cup, the great competition that in the 2023 will put the clubs of both leagues to compete for a month.
The SoFi Stadium, in Inglewood, California, will be the venue where we will have this appetizer, since on August 3 the two most famous teams in MLS will face off against the two from Liga MX.
The doubleheader that will take place on that date will face “Chicharito” Hernández’s Galaxy against Chivas de Guadalajara and LAFC de Carlos Vela with America by Memo Ochoa and Jonathan dos Santos.

The last meeting of these teams was at 2007, when the rojiblancos defeated the galácticos at the Memorial Coliseum during that year’s Super League. Before that, they met twice more and both were won by the American team, the first on penalties in the Concacaf Champions Cup in 1200 and the second in a friendly game at the Rose Bowl in 1999.
One of the additional attractions of this meeting is that Javier “Chicharito” Hernández he will meet again with the team that saw him born, only now how will his rival be, something that has not happened for a long time 12 years.
“It will be very special to face my first team, the team that gave me the opportunity, that gave me everything and I gave everything”
“ They are the two best teams in their respective countries. Chivas is the best and most winner of Liga MX, LA Galaxy of MLS “
