Key moment
 

Marlon appeared to score Los Angeles' first goal of the tournament in the 38th minute but the goal was disallowed on an offside call.

Flamengo secured a spot in the knockout rounds with a 3-1 win over Chelsea on Friday and will face Bayern Munich on Sunday at Miami Gardens, Florida. LA, last year's Major League soccer Western Conference champion, finished with two losses and a draw.

What they said
 

“Overall, we're quite happy. Of course, it stings right now but... our players will realize they can be proud of this performance.” — Steve Cherundolo, Los Angeles coach.
