Club America meet Columbus Crew at Dignity Health Sports Park in the Leagues Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday. Both teams failed to make it past the group stage last season, although Columbus won the 2024 edition.
Águilas head into the match on a two-game winning run and defeated Juarez 2-1 in Liga MX last week, thanks to a brace from Henry Martín. Interestingly, they have suffered just one defeat this season, with that loss coming against Austin on penalties in the Leagues Cup earlier this month.
Thanks for the submission!
The Black and Gold have seen a drop in form and have lost their last three games. They faced Nashville in MLS last week and suffered a 3-2 away defeat. Mohamed Farsi and André Gomes scored in quick succession in the second half, but Nashville scored twice in stoppage time to overturn the deficit.
