Tigers vs. Columbus Crew
The feline team was the one with the least advantage in the first leg, since They tied 1-1 against the Columbus Crew, although their best weapon for the second leg will be the home team, since they will be in front of their people and on their court, a factor that they will have to assert against the MLS champion.
Tigres would advance if they win by any score or if they draw 0-0; a 1-1 draw would force extra time and any tie by 2-2 or more goals would leave them out; any loss would also eliminate them from the tournament.
The match will be played on Tuesday, April 9 at 7:45 pm ET / 4:45 pm PT. The transmission will be carried out by TUDN.
America vs. New England Revolution
He America crushed the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, where, despite the intense cold, the Eagles flew high and gave a 0-4 to those of the MLS, for which they have one foot in the semifinal.

The match will be played on Tuesday, April 9 at 9:30 pm ET / 6:30 pm PT. The transmission will be on TUDN.
Pachuca vs. Herediano
The Tuzos They were the team that gained the greatest advantage from the first leg, since They defeated Herediano 0-5 in Costa Rica, in the only duel that did not feature an MLS team.
The offensive star of the Mexican team, Salomón Rondón, scored a hat trick against the Ticos and will seek to serve himself with the big spoon again; although in front of them they will have a team that will have to look for the goal from the first minutes, so it looks like it will be an entertaining match, because everything indicates that it will be an open game with emotions.
Herediano has the task of beating Pachuca by 6 goals if they want to stay alive in the contest. A 0-5 score would send the match to extra time, but with a goal from the Tuzos, the Ticos would be forced to score at least 6 goals.

Striped vs. Inter Miami
In the first leg, Monterrey took advantage at the last minute by beating Inter Miami 1-2 away, leaving everything in place to seal the result in favor as locals at the BBVA Stadium; However, there is one factor that could weigh a lot: Lionel Messi.
The world champion did not appear in the first leg due to a muscle injury, or at least not on the field, since, according to reports He did appear in the locker room to confront the Rayados coach and other managers of the Mexican team and Concacaf for some previous statements by Tano Ortiz and some disagreements with the refereeing during the duel.
Now the “10” in albiceleste and rosado has ample possibilities to play in the return, since he returned to activity last weekend in the MLS against Colorado Rapids, where, in addition, he returned to the goal-scoring path, so, If his presence in Monterrey is confirmed, it could make a difference.
A draw or any victory is enough for Monterrey to advance to the next round. They can even afford to lose 0-1, since the first tiebreaker in the tournament is the away goal; If they lose 1-2 there will be extra time, if they lose by a goal 2-3 or any score above this, Rayados will be out of the competition.
The match will be played on Wednesday, April 10 at 9:30 pm ET / 6:30 pm PT. The transmission will be carried out by TUDN.
