What do América need to reach the Concachampions semi-finals? | OneFootball

This Tuesday, Club América will face Nashville in the second leg of the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals.

Las Águilas come into this match on the back of several draws and still struggling in terms of their play, although they have improved quite a bit defensively, being the second-best defense in the 2026 Clausura.

But despite that, the team is still having a very hard time scoring goals. In the regular tournament they have 15 goals in 14 matches played, while in the Concachampions they have recorded four goals in five matches, for a total of 19 goals in 19 games, with a clear average of one goal per match.

Meanwhile, Nashville comes in on a good run, sitting atop the MLS Eastern Conference and with a striker like Surridge, who is currently the top scorer in the domestic tournament.

What does América need to advance to the next round?

The answer is simple: they absolutely have to win the match, whether in regulation time, or get a scoreless draw and then win the game either in extra time or on penalties.

Any other result, whether a scoring draw or a loss, would eliminate them from the competition, remembering that the away goal is the main tiebreaker criterion.

At the end of the day, they need to win, something they have not done since March 15 when they defeated Mazatlán. Since then, they have recorded four draws and one loss.
