By Jaime Uribarri

LAFC and Nashville SC closed out their respective Concacaf Champions Cup Round One series with wins on Tuesday night to secure qualification to the Round of 16.

NASHVILLE SC 5, ATLÉTICO OTTAWA 0,

Goals from Alex Muyl, Jordan Knight, Woobens Pacius, Jack Maher and Ahmed Qasem paced a 5-0 win (7-0 aggregate) over Atlético Ottawa at GEODIS Park, following Nashville's 2-0 away victory last week in Leg 1. 

The Coyotes were even more ruthless in Leg 2, thoroughly dispatching their Canadian Premier League opponent with a five-goal barrage. 

Next up for Nashville is a Round-of-16 showdown against MLS Cup 2025 champions Inter Miami CF in March.
