The aggregate winner will face Tigres UANL or FC Cincinnati in the quarterfinals in early April. If needed, the away goals rule is in effect.
Seven MLS clubs reached this stage of the prestigious continental tournament that grants a spot in the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup. The single-match final will be held on June 1.
- Round One: Bye
It's been a difficult start to the season for LA, who have been riddled with injuries and lost four straight games across all competitions.
Last week, the reigning MLS Cup champions dropped a 1-0 decision in Costa Rica before losing 3-0 at home to St. Louis CITY SC in Sunday Night Soccer presented by Continental Tire.
Now, the Galaxy seek their first win of the season in Leg 2. Doing so will likely require big-time performances from 2024 MLS Newcomer of the Year Gabriel Pec and German superstar Marco Reus.
- Round One: 2-1 aggregate vs. Real Salt Lake
Things are going much smoother for Herediano, who sit second in the Costa Rican first division after 12 matches. That form has translated well to CCC play, as los Rojiamarillos are on the verge of eliminating a second consecutive MLS club.
Following their 2-1 aggregate victory over RSL in Round One, Herediano kept the Galaxy off the scoresheet in their Round-of-16 opener and are 90 minutes away from finishing the job at Dignity Health Sports Park.
However, their momentum slightly waned over the weekend as they saw their 14-game undefeated streak across all competitions snapped by fellow CCC participant Alajuelense in a 2-1 league loss.
