Hirving Lozano scores in dying seconds, sends Pachuca to CCL final

Winning games is child's play for Hirving Lozano.

On Tuesday night, in the second leg of the tie between Club Pachuca and FC Dallas in the CONCACAF Champions League semi-final, Lozano tallied two goals - including one that came in the 92nd minute - and booked Los Tuzos' spot in the final with a 4-3 victory on aggregate.

Pachuca, needing to overturn a 2-1 deficit after the first leg, took the lead on away goals in the 38th minute when Chris Seitz and Walker Zimmerman failed to address a cross, and Franco Jara headed the ball past the American 'keeper. Lozano subsequently tightened Los Tuzos' grip on the tie, firing a phenomenal shot into the back of the net in the 80th minute.

Dallas responded by becoming the first away team to score at Estadio Hidalgo in 2017, but Lozano, whose nickname is Chucky, stabbed the Texan club in stoppage time with a dangerous cross that trickled past Seitz after it was left untouched by Victor Guzman.

Lozano's performance followed an interview in which he expressed his readiness to move on from Liga MX, saying: "I feel good, ready, and prepared to get better and to play in a more competitive (league)." Pachuca's president, Jesus Martinez, said Celta Vigo is "one of the teams that most attracts" Los Tuzos when it comes to the player.

The final of the CONCACAF Champions League will feature Pachuca and the winner of the tie between Club Tigres UANL and the Vancouver Whitecaps.
