Leg 2 will be played in Mexico City on March 18, determining who reaches the quarterfinals in April. The aggregate winner will face the winner of the series between Inter Miami CF and Nashville SC.

Nine MLS clubs are competing in the prestigious continental tournament, which grants a spot in the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2026 FIFA Intercontinental Cup. The single-match CCC final will be held on May 30.

Philadelphia Union

Philadelphia were in cruise control throughout Round One, dispatching Trinidadian side Defence Force by a 12-0 aggregate scoreline.

Bruno Damiani netted a brace in Leg 1's 5-0 victory, then homegrown star Cavan Sullivan made history with a 2g/2a performance in Leg 2's 7-0 rout.

The 2025 MLS Supporters' Shield champions' CCC success has yet to translate to MLS play, though. Bradley Carnell's side has lost their first three matches and back-to-back contests at Subaru Park.

Can the Union reverse course against one of the region's strongest clubs?

Club América

Club América squeaked past Honduran side CD Olimpia in Round One, paced by goals from Víctor Dávila and Ramón Juárez in Leg 1 (2-1 victory). 

Las Águilas were held scoreless in Leg 2 (0-0 draw), perhaps reflecting their mid-table form in the LIGA MX Clausura.

Manager André Jardine's squad is eighth in LIGA MX, 11 points behind leaders Cruz Azul and in danger of missing the playoffs.

Despite those ups and downs, the seven-time CCC champions are a formidable opponent. And the likes of Brian Rodríguez and Alex Zendejas, both former MLS standouts, can change the game on a moment's notice.
