Preview: Concacaf Champions League semifinals

• by Soccer America , Apr 26, 2023

What can LAFC and the Philadelphia Union do for an encore? Five months after MLS Cup 2022 -- an eternity ago -- produced the greatest game in MLS history, they meet in the CCL semifinals.
• First Leg. Wednesday at Chester's Subaru Park (9 pm. ET).
• Union. Coach Jim Curtin wouldn't use the word "revenge" and didn't want to give the LAFC any bulletin-board material. "It’s an opportunity for us to now try to beat a very good team and get into the final of a major competition in our continent."
• LAFC. The MLS champions opened their first two series with 3-0 victories on the road. Steve Cherundolo: "We were able to put a performance in both times that put ourselves in a great position to seal the deal at home, and that’s exactly what we’re going to try to do in Philly as well."
• Tuesday. Tigres 2 Leon 1. (Goals: Cordova 45, Quiñones 45+3; Davila 6.)
