York United’s Lisandro Cabrera scored a goal in Concacaf Champions League play Thursday night – the first CPL player to do so.
The 23-year-old Argentinian centre-forward, on loan at Dominican Republic side Atlético Pantoja, found the back of the net against Mexican giants Monterrey in their 3-1 second leg tilt at Estadio BBVA in Mexico.
The club fell 6-1 on aggregate in their first appearance in the continent’s premier club competition after qualifying through the 2020 Concacaf Caribbean Club Championship.
Cabrera converted with a smart run behind the backline in the 61st minute which eventually left him one-on-one with the Monterrey ‘keeper.

Argentine Fans Demonstrate To Demand Justice For Diego Maradona
03/10/21 AT 9:23 PM
Hundreds of Argentine football fans demonstrated on Wednesday in Buenos Aires to demand justice for superstar player Diego Maradona, who died on November 25 in circumstances under investigation. Maradona has been left to die and it is not fair, it is not fair that a person who gave us Argentines so much ends up like that, Abel Chorolque, a 44-year-old cab driver, told AFP at the protest.
Maradona, who was 60, died of a heart attack just weeks after undergoing brain surgery on a blood clot.
Investigators are looking into the health treatment he received prior to his death to determine whether or not to bring a case of wrongful death, a conviction for which would result in a prison sentence of up to 15 years.
