⏪ Champions Cup: Nashville shock Inter Miami; América oust Philadelphia | OneFootball

The second legs of the Concacaf Champions Cup round-of-16 clashes are underway this week across Central and North America. 

Here's how some of tonight's key fixtures got on.

Bueno pen not enough for Philly as América advance

Scorers: Dourado 6'; Bueno 49' (pen)

Mexican giant Club América has once again gotten one over on an MLS rival, as Águilas progressed to the next round of the Concacaf Champions Cup after a 2-1 aggregate result over two legs.

América welcomed the Union to the capital after a 1-0 first-leg win last week at Subaru Park, and got off the mark early doors in just the 6th minute thanks to a header from veteran Brazilian midfielder Rodrigo Dourado.

André Jardine's men would be made to sweat of a potential comeback just after the restart, however, when Jesús Bueno converted from the penalty spot to level matters after Álex Zendejas was judged to have fouled Frankie Westfield in the box.

It would not be enough for Philly to reverse the tie and progress on away goals, with one surge after another across the second half ultimately proving fruitless as Bradley Carnell's outfit were sent packing despite a valiant effort on the night.

Last laugh for Nashville as Inter Miami crash out

Scorers: Messi 7'; Espinoza 74'

Inter Miami's 2026 campaign has taken a severe early body blow tonight after the Herons crashed out of the Concacaf Champions Cup on aggregate at the hands of MLS rival Nashville after a 1-1 draw.

An early strike from Lionel Messi, the 900th of his ludicrous career, seemingly set Javier Mascherano's side on the pathway to progression to the quarterfinals, only for the MLS Cup holder to fall short in putting their stamp of authority on proceedings in South Florida.

In what would turn into a tale of two halves, B.J. Callaghan's Boys in Gold would slowly but surely work their way back into the second-leg bout, ultimately being rewarded with a match-leveler from Cristian Espinoza in the 74th minute, gifting Nashville the golden away goal tie-breaker.

After eliminating Nashville from the MLS Cup playoffs last term, the full-circle result sees the Herons crash out of a competition that was deemed a priority this season.
