2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup

How so?

 

Dagger

Seattle 1-1 Tigres

 

Early 2nd half goal by Musovski

Seattle 2-1 Tigres

 

Looks to me like Tigres may have messed up their own defensive spacing by going to 5 in the back.

 

Musovski getting a yellow for being pushed into the goalie

 

Rusnak in the 81st

Seattle 3-1 Tigres

3-3 aggregate. Tigres leads away goals 1-0

 

GOLAZO from Rusnak.

Level on aggregate, Sounders one goal from advancing.

 

Would suck to go out 3-3 on aggregate, would almost prefer to lose 2-3 on aggregate, lol.

 

Some of these Sounder's give aways are due to them not being familiar with the new surface. Neither team had a chance to practice on it.

 

Only 6 minutes extra time? Now that's getting CONCACAFed. The last delay was over 3 minutes, there was easily 3 minutes when the goalie went down 10 minutes ago, add in all the subs and yellows, the stalling tactics ...

 

Especially after getting shortchanged on stoppage time.

 

Sucks for Sounders fans, but that was fun.

 

Nashville look the most likely to win this. LAFC have the firepower but showed some vulnerable moments vs Cruz Azul

How are they determining who hosts the second leg, like the quarterfinals? If so then Nashville will host the second leg in their series.

Also LAFC has the inside track to hosting the final as long as they win and tie, although one win would probably do it too.

 

Away goals rule is so stupid.

 

It's determined by points accumulated from R16 forward.

For Semis the table looks like this;
Toluca 9pts +8
LAFC 8pts +4
Tigres 6pts +1
Nashville 6pts +1

My guess is that total goals scored will determine the tiebreaker in the case of Tigres vs Nashville and Tigres scored more goals (8) while Nashville scored 2. Or...they just go by number of yellow cards which in that case I think Nashville has the advantage.

 

Yes.

 

Penalties feels more arbitrary but somehow less capricious. At least it is dramatic.

There's no other circumstance outside these cups, and not even all cups, where goals in one minute of the game count differently than those in a different one.

 

Sounders were Concacafed by over the top time wasting by Tigres which the ref neither punished or accounted for with adequate added time. Alas, they could have been better in both legs.
