The Concacaf Champions League Quarter-Finals <\/strong>continues its journey this Wednesday, May 5<\/strong>, when Club America <\/strong>receives Portland Timbers <\/strong>at the Azteca Stadium<\/strong>, in Mexico City<\/strong>. The partial result with which both teams arrive at this game is a 1-1 aggregate, so America<\/strong> brings an advantage for the away goal scored in Portland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This match will be extra intense due to the fact that in the first leg of the quarter-finals, <\/strong>there were a lot of clashes and disagreements between the referees and the players and coaching staff of America<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Did America and Portland Get Here?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

America<\/strong> has ended their excellent season in the MX League – Guard1anes 2021 <\/strong>tournament. Their last match was against Pumas<\/strong> who won by a minimum of 1-0, thanks to Henry Mart\u00edn’s<\/strong> goal in minute 83. America<\/strong> finished as second in the table<\/strong> of the general classification with a record of 12 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, Portland<\/strong> has had a weak start in the MLS<\/strong>. Although they have only played 3 games, they have managed to add only 3 of the 9 possible points to their score, which presents a goal difference of -3. Their last game was against Dallas<\/strong> and they were beaten 4-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first leg of the Concacaf Champions League<\/strong> quarter-finals was a real give and take. The Mexicans opened the score with a penalty goal ending the first half. The goal was scored by Roger Martinez<\/strong> in minute 45 + 1. Both teams attacked without success. It was not until the extension of the second half, exactly at minute 90 + 7 (from here came the discord and disagreement of the America team<\/strong>) when the referee signaled a penalty and allowed the local team to draw, thanks to Felipe Mora<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
