With Leg 2 of the 2019 Concacaf Champions League Round of 16 getting underway this evening, the road to the quarterfinals looks clearer for some than it does others.
The Houston Dynamo, bringing a 1-0 lead into BBVA Compass Stadium, have an away goal in its favor against Guastatoya, while the Red Bulls are in good shape as they host Atlético Pantoja in Harrison, N.J. with a pair of road goals in their back pocket. Atlanta United (1-3) and Tigres (0-1) can easily bounce back at home to turn the tables, while in Monterrey, Alianza can play the role of giant slayer on the road in a scoreless tie - but Los Rayados supporters will be full throat to try to help the hosts through.
