The Columbus Crew have a huge task on their hands in the second leg of their Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal with Tigres.
The two sides played out a 1-1 draw last week in the first leg, giving the Liga MX side an advantage as it heads home to El Volcán with an away goal.
Columbus controlled much of the first leg at Lower.com Field, but was only able to score a solitary goal from Diego Rossi. Prolific Tigres forward André-Pierre Gignac opened the scoring for his side with a header.

Columbus will be without Aidan Morris for the second leg, as the influential midfielder picked up a red card in the second half of the first leg. Star striker Cucho Hernández should be back in the mix, however, after he was held out of the first leg due to a “team policy” violation.
The winner of this tie will face the winner of Inter Miami vs. Monterrey in the semifinal.
