América to face Nashville in Concachampions quarter-finals | OneFootball

The Quarterfinal bracket of the Concacaf Champions Cup 2026 has been set.

Club América advanced to this round after eliminating Philadelphia Union with an aggregate score of 2-1, in a second leg match that was much more challenging than expected.

Meanwhile, Nashville SC caused an upset by knocking out Inter Miami after tying at one goal in the aggregate score, advancing to this Quarterfinal stage thanks to the away goal.

When will it be played?

The first leg will be played between April 7 and 9 at Geodis Park, in the city of Nashville, Tennessee, with the schedule yet to be determined.

The return leg will be between the 14th and 16th of the same month, at the Azteca Stadium, noting that the Eagles will be playing several matches at their stadium, as the renovation is nearing completion.

Only one previous encounter between both clubs.

América and Nashville have only faced each other once in history, which was in the Leagues Cup of 2023.

On that occasion, they met in the Round of 16, in a match that ended with much controversy, as they tied at zero goals during the 90 minutes, leading to a penalty shootout.

The Eagles had claimed victory in the penalty shootout, but five minutes later, when everyone had already celebrated, the referee informed that Malagón had moved forward on the last penalty he saved, so it was decided to retake it.

The opponent scored the penalty in the retake, and subsequently, Jonathan dos Santos missed his shot, resulting in Club América being eliminated from the Leagues Cup.
