Columbus

Soccer

LAFC withstood a furious Columbus Crew rally to reach the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals Tuesday night at Lower.com Field.

The Black & Gold escaped Columbus with a 2-1 loss in Leg 2, allowing them to advance in the competition with a 4-2 aggregate win in their Round of 16 series.

They’ll face Inter Miami CF or Jamaica’s Cavalier FC in the quarterfinals next month.

Soccer Columbus Crew 2, LAFC 1

The Crew nearly pulled off a comeback for the ages but came up short, largely due to Hugo Lloris.

The legendary French goalkeeper played the hero for LAFC, making two highlight-reel saves – including an incredible goal-line stop – to deny Columbus a series-tying goal after Jacen Russell-Rowe and Diego Rossi struck for the hosts.

Denis Bouanga‘s clinical counterattack finish in second-half stoppage time put the final nail in the Crew’s coffin and secured qualification for LAFC.

Soccer Tigres UANL 3, FC Cincinnati 1

FC Cincinnati wasted an early lead for the second-straight game against LIGA MX powerhouse Tigres UANL, who rallied for a 3-1 (4-2 aggregate) win that eliminated the Orange & Blue.

An 18th-minute golazo from Evander, following a skillful set-up from Luca Orellano, had Cincy thinking of a shock result at Estadio Universitario.

However, the hosts turned it around in the second half with three unanswered goals to put the series away.

Soccer Cruz Azul 4, Seattle Sounders FC 1

Seattle Sounders FC bowed out of the CCC with a 4-1 loss at LIGA MX’s Cruz Azul, who closed out the series in lopsided fashion after last week’s scoreless Leg 1 draw at Lumen Field.

Second-half substitute Danny Musovski scored the lone tally for the 2022 champions, poking in a loose ball from close range in the 75th minute to make a game of it at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario.

But a late flurry from La Máquina ended all hopes for Seattle, who were dealt an additional blow with injuries to key attackers Jordan Morris and Paul Arriola.
