It was an apt moment for the Lions’ mood as Wednesday night turned into Thursday morning, having just won the club’s first-ever trophy since their MLS journey began in 2015.
The result came via a 3-0 win over USL Championship side Sacramento Republic FC, sparked by heroic second-half showings from Uruguay international winger Facundo Torres and homegrown forward Benji Michel, the latter a second-half substitute. Torres had two goals and one assist, while Michel had one goal, one assist and a drawn penalty kick.
