Pachuca Looks to Dominate as LAFC Faces Must-Win Scenario in Leagues Cup
So here’s the latest buzz from the Leagues Cup 2025—and yes, it’s getting really interesting. The tournament is heating up, and one of the big matchups that’s drawing attention is LAFC vs. Pachuca. If you’ve been following the action, you know both teams are in very different positions right now, even though they’re technically tied on paper.
Pachuca comes into this clash with confidence riding high. They pulled off a dramatic 3-2 win over San Diego FC in their opening game, which not only gave them momentum but also a real shot at sealing an early ticket to the next round. A win in this second group-stage match would pretty much guarantee them a spot in the elimination round, and they know it.

On the other hand, LAFC has had a much rougher start. Despite their reputation and strong fanbase, they only managed to grab 1 point so far, which puts them dangerously low in the MLS standings for this tournament. That’s a huge drop from what fans expected, and it means that this match against Pachuca is basically a must-win. If they don’t get the three points, their future in the tournament could be out of their hands.
Now, here’s something different about the 2025 Leagues Cup: instead of one big combined table like in past years, we’ve got two separate ones this time—one for Liga MX and one for MLS teams. Only the top four from each side make it to the next round. So not only are the teams fighting for wins, they’re also fighting for position within their own league. That means every single point matters even more.
What adds to the drama is the tournament format. In the knockout stage, the top-ranked team from one league goes up against the fourth from the other—so seeding could really shape a team’s path forward. This puts pressure not just on LAFC and Pachuca, but on every team in contention right now.
The match is also grabbing a lot of attention because of the broadcast setup: every single game is being streamed through Apple TV or the MLS Season Pass, which has made it super easy for fans to keep up, no matter where they are.
So, as things stand, Pachuca’s got a golden opportunity to solidify their place among the top Liga MX squads, while LAFC is teetering on the edge. One team is hoping to cruise through, the other is fighting to survive. The stakes? Absolutely massive.
