The Columbus Crew climbed a mountain to reach the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal. Now, the MLS side will have an even tougher test on its hands.
Columbus overcame Tigres in the quarterfinal, becoming the first MLS side in this competition to fail to win at home in the first leg against a Liga MX side and still advance.
The Crew went through with a penalty shootout victory, taking their place among three Liga MX sides in the semifinal round.
