What channel is Columbus Crew's second leg match on? Here's how to watch Crew-CF Monterrey
The Crew are back in Mexico for a chance to make more club history in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
If Columbus defeats CF Monterrey in the Champions Cup semifinals, the club will advance to the tournament's finals for the first time in history. The Crew have already made it further than they've even been in Champions Cup play, making their first semifinals appearance following a quarterfinal victory over Tigres 4-3 in penalty kicks during the second leg.
The Crew are going into the second leg against Monterrey with a 2-1 aggregate advantage. Columbus picked up two goals in the first leg at Lower.com Field on April 24 behind the efforts of Cucho Hernandez and Jacen Russell-Rowe.
In order to advance to the Champions Cup final matchup in regulation, the Crew must finish the second leg with a win, draw or a one-goal loss in which they score at least two goals. Monterrey advances automatically if it records a two-plus goal victory or a victory in which Columbus fails to score.
According to CONCACAF guidelines, the first tiebreaker in a series is road goals. The only way the Crew-Monterrey second leg match goes into extra time with a possibility for penalty kicks is if regulation ends and Monterrey holds a 2-1 advantage in the match.
