What do América need to reach the next round of the Concachampions? | OneFootball

Club América is ready to face Olimpia in the second leg of the 2026 Concachampions Round of 16.

The first leg ended with an Águilas victory by 2-1, in a match that wasn’t particularly well played, especially in the first half where we basically saw two teams that were very ineffective in front of goal; the only redeeming moment for América was Víctor Dávila’s goal right before halftime.

But the second half was a different story with the entries of Brian Rodríguez and Alejandro Zendejas; the team improved a lot and the only reason they didn’t leave with a bigger advantage was a lack of finishing and the opposing goalkeeper.

What does América need to advance?

With the advantage on aggregate, América has several possible results that would see them through to the next round.

With a win or a draw, regardless of the number of goals scored, the team will be in the next round; a loss could also see them advance, but it would depend on the number of goals.

Olimpia absolutely needs to win, but at the same time they must score two or more goals to do so, since the away goals rule is the tiebreaker.
