The second leg of the two-game, total-goal series is scheduled for March 12 in Carson, Calif.

Belal Halbouni headed home a late equalizer as host Vancouver salvaged a draw in the first leg against Monterrey.

Inter star stranded in Iran after Israel attacks ahead of Club World Cup opener
Inter Milan striker Medhi Taremi has been left stranded in Iran following attacks from Israel in Tehran. Taremi, 32, is part of the Inter squad taking part in the Club World Cup in the USA over the next month with their first match taking place on Wednesday against Mexican side Monterrey. Taremi returned to his homeland to accept Iran's Footballer of the Year award and was planning to fly straight out to Los Angeles to link up with his teammates. However, the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel which saw Iranian military and nuclear targets hit with missile attacks has resulted in all flights from Iranian airports grounded. Inter are in 'constant contact' with the striker, Sky Italia report, as they seek to find a solution that will allow him to leave Iran and join up with his teammates. Iran was targeted with several waves of airstrikes on Thursday and Friday, launching retaliatory attacks on Israel overnight. More than 78 people have been killed in Iran, including four of its top security chiefs, with 320 wounded, most of them civilians.

Aaron Ramsey agrees shock move and throws Cardiff City's manager hunt into chaos
Aaron Ramsey agrees shock move and throws Cardiff City's manager hunt into chaos The Wales and Cardiff legend has agreed a move to Mexico and won't be Cardiff City's new manager Aaron Ramsey looks set to leave Cardiff City (Image: 2025 Getty Images ) Aaron Ramsey has agreed a deal to sign for Mexican side Club Universidad Nacional. The PA news agency report Ramsey will not become Cardiff City's next manager and will instead head across the Atlantic to sign a deal with the Pumas. The 34-year-old had been heavily linked with taking over the managerial reins at Cardiff City Stadium on a full-time basis following his interim period in charge at the back end of last season. Join the Cardiff City breaking news and top stories WhatsApp community That now won't be happening, despite bookmakers making him the heavy favourite, with the Bluebirds now seeing Ramsey move away from the club and Nathan Jones agree a new long-term deal with Charlton. What that means for their hunt for Omer Riza's successor remains to be seen, with Des Buckingham, Brian Barry-Murphy and Ian Evatt all previously considered. A decision was due to be made at the start of next week, and whether that timeframe remains will become apparent soon enough. The former Arsenal and Juventus midfielder would become the first high-profile British player to play in the Mexican league, should the formalities of the move be completed. Article continues below Ramsey was appointed interim manager for the final three games of the Championship season after the club sacked Riza. The Wales legend was unable to prevent Cardiff from being relegated to the third tier, but reports had linked him to taking over the Bluebirds on a full-time basis this summer. Sign up to our daily Cardiff City newsletter here. Ramsey has made it clear he wants to continue his playing career and lead Wales at the World Cup next summer. 'There's a lot to play for and that World Cup is a massive carrot being dangled,' Ramsey said back in April. Ramsey returned to his boyhood club Cardiff in 2023, but injuries have restricted his game-time and he is currently recovering from hamstring surgery. Club Universidad Nacional, known as Pumas UNAM, finished sixth in the 2024-25 Mexican standings and qualified for the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Article continues below Reports emerged on Saturday evening from Mexico that Ramsey had entered into "advanced talks" with the Guadalajara-based side. Mexican TV reporter Andres Vaca told the Seleccione2 podcast 'I don't know if they're selling me smoke, they just told me that Aaron Ramsey is going to join Pumas. 'They told me it's almost a confirmation.'
