Luis Manuel Garcia News: Heroic in penalty shootout

Garcia made one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 (11-9) penalty shootout win over Tigres.

Garcia stopped the last two shootout penalty kicks to help his team become champions for the second time in a row. He shared appearances with Hugo Gonzalez throughout the second half of 2025 and was ultimately selected to play in the final match. Garcia left a better impression over the past few months than in previous seasons, while he averaged 2.1 saves and 0.9 goals conceded per game and kept two clean sheets over eight starts.
