aWe have passed the round of 16 and the schedule for the next phase has been decided. This round was not without its surprises and intense emotions, including the loss of Inter Miami in a game in which Leo Messi reached his 900th professional goal, and Tigres’ historic comeback against Cincinnati.
Teams such as the Seattle Sounders, Toluca, and LA Galaxy beat their respective rivals with significant advantages and qualified with flying colors, but America was unconvinced, struggling to pass the ball and still surpassing Philadelphia by the smallest difference in total score.
The team scored a bizarre goal in just 19 seconds without touching the ball.
