LA Galaxy's CONCACAF Champions League campaign came to an abrupt end on Tuesday, routed 4-0 by Santos Laguna in the second leg of their quarter-final.
The last-eight tie was evenly poised following last week's goalless draw in Los Angeles but Galaxy were no match for Santos, who eased into the semi-finals.
Bruce Arena's Galaxy were without former England international full-back Ashley Cole following the birth of his child, though they still had a star-studded line-up, including captain Robbie Keane, Steven Gerrard, Giovani dos Santos and Nigel de Jong.
Quarter-finalists last season, DC were unable to overturn the 2-0 first-leg deficit as Mexico's Queretaro advanced to the semis 3-1 on aggregate.
An 84th-minute goal from DC's Julian Buscher cancelled out Angel Sepulveda's first-half opener in Washington.
