🚨 Club América edge past Philadelphia Union in CONCACAF Champions Cup | OneFootball

No Major League Soccer action midweek as our eyes turn the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Here is what went down. 

Club América edge Philadelphia Union

Scorers: Veiga 20'

The first leg in Philly was a lowly event for the Union, as Club América grabbed a marginal advantage after 90 minutes of play. The difference came down to only one moment of magic.

Thirty-year-old attacking midfielder Raphael Veiga was left unmarked in the box, and as Brian Rodríguez cut through the Union defence, he was allowed to easily collect the ball and set himself up for the volley home.

Goalkeeper Andrew Rick unfortunately, couldn't get a hand to it for the hosts.

As the clock read over 70 minutes and change remaining, the Union failed to muster up any real bite in their attack. By the end of full-time, they had zero shots on target and therefore fell short of a potential equalizer or overall comeback.

Club América will love the slim lead heading into the second leg, but there is still plenty left to play for on March 18 in Mexico City.

Coming up later, it's an all Mexican-affair as Monterrey face Cruz Azul and LAFC welcome Liga Deportiva Alajuelense in tonight's finale.
