Ghanaian player Latif Blessing has set his eyes on winning the Lamar US Open Cup for Los Angeles FC.

Blessing made this promise following his side's 3-2 win over Sacramento Republic FC in a round of 16 tie.

The former Liberty Professionals player who scored the winning goal promised to do his best and deliver the title to Los Angeles FC.

"First of all I told you Open Cup is my game," he told reporters. "I just love this game," he added.

"Bach home I told my family, my friends, I need to bring a trophy back home so that they will be happy and Open Cup is my favourite game to play. I needed to work hard, we were losing so I did all I can so we can win" he said.

"Like I said Open Cup is my game so I'm going to work hard for LA to win this cup, I promise."

The 21 year old has been amazing in the campaign as LAFC lie third in the Western Conference and are now through to the quarter finals of the US open Cup.

"Open Cup is my game and I need to work hard. I had to work hard and try to give assists for my team mate to score. Today I had to score like more than two but I had to work hard, gave an assist to Diego. Diego is a good player. When he scored 2-2 I was happy and I think I was going to score the third goal. And that's what I did. Good assist to Diego,' he said after the win over Sacramento Republic.
