Ghana winger Joseph Paintsil registered his first goal of the season for Los Angeles Galaxy but the MLS champions suffered elimination from the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Painstil scored to reduce the deficit for LA Galaxy in their 3-2 defeat to Tigres in the continental championship.
The Black Stars winger missed most of the start to the new campaign due to an injury but returned late last month and has since been key for the American.
However, conceding twice in the space of a minute was the undoing of LA Galaxy, following strikes from Nicolas Ibanez and Uriel Antuna in the 9th and tenth minute.
Paintsil gave LA Galaxy hope with his 40th-minute goal but Romulo restored the Mexican’s two-goal advantage after the break.
Carlos Garces scored on the hour mark to pull one back for LA Galaxy as their journey in the Champions Cup came to a crashing end.
Paintsil will now switch his attention to the MLS game against Houston Dynamo on Sunday.
