It is time to know the names of the six final teams that will enter the next round of the Concacaf Champions Cup, and once all games have ended on Thursday, the final draw will be complete with all Round of 16 fixtures.
Last week's games left all but one of the teams that will welcome the return leg with an advantage to defend this week, which will eventually force those clubs involved to try and execute a big comeback. Some have it easier than others, but the prospect of enticing matches is there.
In terms of league dominance, MLS clubs have proven their worth in last week's fixtures, with six of them being able to get an edge over their opponents for this week's fixtures. The only team not capable of doing that was Houston Dynamo, who faced another MLS club last week.
Without any more delays, here is how the week will present us the games being played in Round One of the Concacaf Champions Cup.
Tuesday, February 27
Orlando City SC vs Cavalry - The Lions get to their ground on a three-nil lead, keeping them in pole position to reach the next round. The Cavs will need to show massive improvement to have a chance in this fixture, although their 3-0 loss from last week may be too much for them to overcome.

Philadelphia Union vs Saprissa - Things were going well for Saprissa after taking the lead after the first 45 minutes, but a hat-trick by Julián Carranza confirmed a big comeback for the Union. Although there is only one goal between these teams, Saprissa will need to score two uncontested goals against the Union if they want to make the next round, where Liga MX's Pachuca is waiting for the winner of this tie.

Houston Dynamo vs St. Louis City - The only all-MLS tie ended in a win for St. Louis, which will now force Houston to beat the newest team in MLS by two goals to reach the next stage. St. Louis' only visit to Shell Energy Stadium ended in a one-all draw last season, a score that would be good enough for them to reach the next stage and face the current MLS champions: Columbus Crew.

Nashville SC vs Moca - The Boys in Gold cruised in their game against Moca thanks to an early two-goal lead, which later added one more goal in the second half of the match. Nashville seem to be in control of this tie, where only a loss by four goals would see them missing out on the chance of facing Lionel Messi's Inter Miami in the next round.

Thursday, February 29
New England vs Independiente - Independiente came close to drawing their match against the Revs, but a goal in the second half of the match was enough for Caleb Porter's team to get the advantage. Now, all the MLS club has to do is hold on to that lead, or add to it while trying not to concede any goals that could give them a hard time. Their reward for keeping their cool in Thursday's game will be facing Alajuelense in the Round of 16.
