Los Angeles FC faced a disappointing outcome in the FIFA Club World Cup, losing 1-0 to the Tunisian champions Esperance de Tunis. The decisive moment came when Youcef Belaili scored the only goal of the match, following a critical penalty save by Ben Saïd that kept Esperance in contention. LAFC’s elimination marks a significant setback for the MLS side, as they now look to regroup after a second consecutive shutout loss in the tournament. This victory is particularly important for Esperance, reviving their hopes in the competition after a dramatic match.
