Son then had another effort ruled out following a VAR check at 74'07, while yellow cards for Delgado and Sergi Palencia added to a tense spell.
Roberts delivered the late equalizer at 90', connecting with Leroux's assist. Four goals and Long's dismissal were the headline stats, while Son's disallowed effort provided another of the night's highlights. The match summary was a comeback point for San Jose and a frustrating finish for LAFC, who could not hold their two-goal lead.
