Who advances to the Semifinals: Columbus Crew or Club América?

Market context

A clash of champions: Columbus Crew, unbeaten in the league phase (8 points), against Club América, the Liga MX giant. The Crew arrive as one of MLS's best; Las Águilas, unbeaten in regulation, carry the pedigree and squad depth that put them among the title favorites. The market sees it as very tight, with a slight edge to América. Single match, no draw: 90' or straight to penalties. On Wednesday, August 26, one goes to the semifinals and the other goes home. Who advances to the Semifinals?

Resolution criteria

• How it resolvesResolves in favor of the team —«Columbus Crew» or «Club América»— that advances to the semifinals of the 2026 Leagues Cup. Advancing counts by any route: regulation time (90' plus stoppage) or a penalty shootout (there is no extra time in this round); the exact score does NOT affect resolution, only which team advances. No draw is possible. The resolution is confirmed by the official Leagues Cup result of «Columbus Crew» vs «Club América» (quarterfinals, August 26, 2026). In case of suspension, postponement, annulment or a walkover, the resolution will follow the official Leagues Cup decision on which team advances. If the match is not played, the tournament is cancelled, or no winning team is officially confirmed by August 31, 2026, the market is cancelled.
