This is the scene of the United States teams heading to the eighth finals
Major League Soccer is experiencing a moment of unassailable splendor despite the fact that the 2024 season recently began in which the Columbus Crew will defend its crown.
The first international challenge of the year has not been so disastrous for the MLS representatives, since of the 10 teams classified for the first round of the Concacaf Champions Cup, only one is completely eliminated.
New England Revolution, Philadelphia Union, Houston Dynamo, St. Louis Dynamo; St. Louis SC, Orlando City, Cincinnati FC, Inter Miami and Nashville SC, still have hopes of being able to advance to the round of 16
All teams, classified in the First Phase, have the tie in their favor after the first 90 minutes. Orlando won 3-0 in the first leg and has practically eliminated the Canadian Cavalry; Philadelphia Union will play at home with the aggregate score in their favor 3-2; New England Revolution will also close its tie against Independiente with the minimum difference in the pocket.
Cincinnati and Nashville also have a foot and a half in the next round after winning the first leg 3-0 and 2-0, respectively. However, the fact that luck faced St.Luis SC and Houston Dynamo in this first step will force the MLS lose another representative on this rung.
The only club that was buried in hopes of fighting for the title was the Vancouver Whitecaps, a club that was surpassed with some problems by the Tigres of Liga MX.
Both the current champion and the Inter Miami They already have a ticket in the round of 16 and are only waiting to meet their respective rivals for this second stage of the direct elimination phase of the CONCACAF tournament.
