By Braden Chalker The last four teams in the CONCACAF Champions Cup semi-finals will battle it out for a place in the final as with the second legs on the horizon this week. Liga MX giants Club America were held to a 1-1 draw at Estadio Azteca in their first-leg matchup against fellow Mexican opposition Pachuca. The Eagles sit atop the Liga MX Clausura standings while Pachuca aren't too far behind in seventh place, and America will look to carry over their league form into the second leg at Estadio Hidalgo Tuesday night. The other side of the bracket sees reigning MLS Cup champions Columbus Cr...

By Braden Chalker Liga MX giants Monterrey play host to Columbus Crew in the second leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals at Estadio BBVA Wednesday night. The first leg was a closely-contested battle between the two North American clubs, with the reigning MLS champions Columbus coming out on top 2-1 at Lower.com Field. Crew talisman Cucho Hernandez opened the scoring in the 25th minute before Maxi Meza's equalizer just before the 60th minute mark. Canada international Jacen Russell-Rowe put the Crew back in front in the 72nd minute and would hold on for the narrow victory against one of...

By Braden Chalker Monterrey head coach Fernando 'Tano' Ortiz applauded the legendary Lionel Messi following his team's 3-1 triumph over Inter Miami in the second leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals. It was a complete performance from the Mexican giants in a must-win game against Messi and co. The Herons started brightly but crumbled under pressure after goalkeeper Drake Callender's unforgivable error that allowed Brandon Vazquez to put the hosts 1-0 up. In the second 45, German Berterame added a second with a long-range stunner, while Jesus Gallardo made it 3-0 in the 64th minute t...

By Braden Chalker Columbus Crew goalkeeper Patrick Schulte came up clutch with two huge saves in the team's 4-3 penalty shootout victory over Tigres in the Champions Cup. It was Schulte who put the Crew under pressure not even five minutes into the second leg at Estadio Universitario. Schulte received a back pass from defender Steven Moreira, but some poor footwork saw the 23-year-old lose possession and allowed the legendary Andre-Pierre Gignac to pounce and put Tigres up in the third minute. It was a devastating blow for Schulte and Co., as many MLS sides struggle playing down south against ...

By Braden Chalker Columbus Crew reached the semifinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup after their 2-2 (4-3) penalty shootout victory over Mexican giants Tigres. After the first leg ended in a 1-1 draw at Lower.com Field, many expected Tigres to return to their home ground to finish off the reigning MLS Cup winning Crew. Tigres managed to snatch an away goal in the first leg, meaning a goalless draw would've seen them progress to the semifinals. The game couldn't have started any better for Tigres at Estadio Universitario. A rare error from the Crew's Patrick Schulte saw the legendary striker An...

By Braden Chalker Monterrey and Inter Miami square off in the second leg of the Champions Cup quarter-finals at Estadio BBVA with a trip to the final four at stake. Miami boss Gerardo 'Tata' Martino included the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba in his squad for the 2-2 draw against Colorado Rapids, with all four players coming off the bench in the second half of the contest. As the former Atlanta United boss brought the ex-Barcelona figures on for the second half, there's a good chance they'll all feature from the start vs Rayados. Messi appears to have full r...

By Braden Chalker Luis Suarez praised Inter Miami's Champions Cup quarterfinals opponents Monterrey, citing how "powerful" the Mexican giants are ahead of the first leg on Wednesday night at Chase Stadium. Suarez's comments can be backed up by their performance thus far in the 2024 Clausura campaign, as Rayados have lost just once in 13 league matches. The five-time Champions Cup winners were on a tear to begin the campaign with eight wins and four draws before stumbling against Chivas de Guadalajara last weekend 2-0 with two players sent off in the defeat. Much of their early success can be a...

By Braden Chalker A 4-0 scoreline in favor of Club America in the Concacaf Champions Cup saw New England Revolution head coach Caleb Porter concede that the Mexican giants were "the better team." The tie appears to be all but wrapped from a neutral's perspective, as a four-goal leading heading into the second leg at the Estadio Azteca will require a colossal collapse from Azteca if the Revs are to progress to the semifinals. After full-time, Porter admitted that the Revs were outmatched on their home turf against one of the best sides in all of Liga MX. "Congratulations to Club America, they w...

By Braden Chalker Despite Club America's 4-0 thrashing of New England Revolution in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal, Eagles boss Andre Jardine fully believes the tie is 'still open' with the second leg on the horizon. The Mexican giants served up one of their most dominant performances of 2024 at Gillette Stadium Tuesday night, not allowing the Revs much of a chance on their home turf. The box score also relays that same message, as America notched 58% possession and 12 total shots (seven on target) to New England's nine total shots (three on target). Speaking to the m...

By Braden Chalker Columbus Crew head coach Wilfried Nancy believed his team 'played with personality' in their 1-1 draw with Tigres in the Concacaf Champions Cup. The Crew battled back after going down a goal after Tigres legend Andre-Pierre Gignac opened the scoring 18 minutes in. Diego Rossi, who joined Columbus last summer from Turkish giants Fenerbahce, brought the game to level terms just before halftime to give the hosts hope of taking a lead into the second leg. But it wasn't meant to be, as the Crew rattled in 16 total shots (six on target) that was coupled with 53% possession at Lower...
