Following their third consecutive loss in Liga MX this past Saturday in the Estadio Universitario to the hands of their nemesis Tigres, and with one must-win regular season game remaining this weekend to clinch a top-4 spot in the league table, Rayados now turn their attention to their CONCACAF Champions League duties. Up next in the QF round, the current MLS champions; Columbus Crew.
So, how do both teams arrive to this point? The home team, Columbus Crew, began their tournament by facing Nicaraguan club Real Estelí, who managed to make their first CCL QF appearance in last year’s edition.
