Club América vs Nashville SC 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup Quarterfinals

The CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals move to Mexico City as Club America face Nashville SC in the second leg of the last eight at a newly re-opened and renovated Estadio. Nashville SC almost set for kickoff in the second leg of this Champions Cup. We are rolling in Mexico City in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup. We're in the middle of the park. And here goes Hany Mukhtar. Mukhtar surveys and hits it high and wide. Hany Mukhtar. He's got a great shot on him. And he feels like it's opening up. There's not an obvious ball on for him unless he goes for a cute ball through the middle which is what his teammate was screaming at him. America away with Zendejas. Zendejas into the box. Zendejas at the post. Away in the attack. Just enough room for Zendejas to go onto his left foot. Oh, it's at the post. Did he touch it onto the post? He gives it straight away and has to make the save. This was the save for Nashville. Hany Mukhtar. Stepovers. Mukhtar blocked. Falls for a post. And there's a save from Kota. Rich feet, really. This was Mukhtar previously and then the chance that fell to Madrigal. And Kota, not the most convincing, but able to hold on eventually. Rodriguez away for America. Tags it back to help out. Rodriguez still. Lays it centrally. Top of the area and it's scuffed wide. You can see Rodriguez. He's not a player that you want to invite into space down that flank. Shorty's calm. Against Cruz Azul. Here's Brian Rodriguez. On his right foot. Rodriguez. Touched him. Deep big shot. It sets off and Goki could be forgiven for thinking that was going to go over the bar, but he dips wickedly. Look at that one. A couple big saves from Brian Schwache. One that he deflected off his near post. One that he touched over his bar. Nashville have had a couple moments in the second half. They're in their away blue kits. America in their Azul Crema, the yellow. It's actually the other way for Andy Nahar. Here's Espinoza now. Into the middle for Mukhtar. Hadi Mukhtar scores for Nashville SC. Who have a goal in Mexico City. Build up. Espinoza inside to Mukhtar. Doesn't hesitate. Takes one glance up and bang at the near post. And Nashville have got Club America reeling. We kept talking about it. We almost didn't know what to do with it. But he finds Mukhtar eventually. On the right for Espinoza. Can't reach it. He's claiming a corner. A very tight angle. Hard for him to really produce. Rodriguez. Zendejas. Now slid to the top of the area. Turnaround effort. Straight at Schwache. Rodriguez really fancies this one, doesn't he? And Vega around it. It is Brian Rodriguez. And he tickles the top of the net. And now centrally for a left-footed effort. That's cradled by Schwache. What he wanted to do in this hostile environment so far. Violante though scoops in with the left. Schwache out. Missed it. Palacios is there to scramble it off. Good ball in for Violante. He's not really convinced there at all. Is he going to catch that ball? Is he punching it? Just walked in an arm at the shot stopper. But he's also looked a little bit vulnerable on those crosses. That comes to the penalty spot. And it creeps wide. Physical presence. This one is flicked wide. Reyes got up for it. Violante wants more. This time crosses it first time. Knotted down but straight at Schwache. No issues. Makes himself a nuisance as usual. He's really worked his socks off, hasn't he? A hard, great skill to skip through. He has options here. He slides it wide right. Chance for Espinosa who chips it wide. Toward the backside. Comes down for Rodriguez. Rodriguez spoons it in. It is flicked on target. And it's the electric gold and acoustic blue who move on to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
