Tigres defeated LAFC in the Campeones Cup on penalty kicks Wednesday night 4-2 with Argentine goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán stopping two of LA's penalties.
The game was played at LAFC’s BMO Stadium. After the game Guzmán took it upon himself to troll the home fans and celebrate in front of the crowd. They were less than pleased and proceeded to hurl objects at him.
Guzmán was unphased and even managed to catch a water bottle that was thrown.
This guy is good with his hands. Must be a goalkeeper or something.

This is a pretty poor look for the LAFC fans after suffering a bitter cup final loss.
The Campeones Cup is an annual competition where the previous winners of MLS and Liga MX face off. The game has sort of become second fiddle to the Leagues Cup, but the intensity was still there on Wednesday.

Both teams had a player receive a red card and the 0-0 stalemate saw the game go to penalties where Guzmán was the hero.
