Nashville SC vs Tigres UANL - 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup - Semifinals

...hits, hosts a Continental Final Four as the Champions Cup semifinals begin, and for the first time, they have come to the Music City. It is Nashville SC and T-Grace in leg one, for Nashville looking to motor forward, and Mowiel still with a defender slipping for T-Grace, and so Mowiel continues on. Lays it off for Reed Baker Whiting, he spoons it, back post, header down, and they score! Moutar, but the flag is up! Flag is up! It does not count for now. They made it work. A swing in this cross, heads go up, still loose edge of the 18. Settled back for Espinosa, tipped over by Nahuel Guzman. First shot on target of the night for Nashville, corner for Nashville coming up. Corcoran, the substitute, laying it off. It was lasered by Espinosa, it's a good strong hand from Guzman to tip it over. And Correa has it back for T-Grace, and plays it first time, just a down, Brunetta saved by Schalke, who prevents a massive... This is angled forward, touched back in the direction of Corcoran. They're going now, deftly around Madrigal, and then square for Brunetta, and down for Correa! He scores! Spectacular Nashville rain, and T-Grace take the lead in the semifinal. Moutar one touch, Espinosa lays it wide, Nahar, Nahar checking on and trying to square it, comes to the top of the area and struck with the right and rising over and out. Goal kick for T-Grace, that might just take care of this first half. There is half-time from Kehler Herrera, all going according to plan for T-Grace, playing shorthanded, but you wouldn't have known it. They have tamed this Nashville attack for the first 45. So we'll see if he's able to recover for the second leg next week. He would be a big miss if he can, but we're back underway for the second half here in Nashville. T-Grace in a good spot, despite that injury, despite missing Jesus Garza and Joaquin from their backline tonight. And play for Correa again, deflected and saved by Schwachey. Still alive for Brunetta, whose click ball toward the back post is taken by Schwachey again. Well, T-Grace threatening that second goal. Fluid ball movement, Correa. And then Aguirre is actually, ball inside, Nahar. Now Espinosa, Espinosa trying to chop inside, still Espinosa deflects and spins to Guzman. And all the sting taken out of the shot by Angulo. He's had one or two shaky moments early, but otherwise has been excellent at that center back spot tonight. Again, a spot where he does not often play for Marcelo Flores after getting himself in a good position. Nahar then fouled. Second booking for T-Grace as well. And then Lainez in the area. Lainez! Touched wide by Schwachey. It will be a late corner for T-Grace. The fans on the near side thought that ball was in initially. Lainez hasn't been able to get in the attack much since coming on, but a little pocket of space in the penalty box. Ball was going wide, but Schwachey didn't feel he could take a chance. Full time in leg one. T-Grace take Tennessee and take a big step toward the Champions Cup final. A massive away result as they once again use their savvy and guile to achieve a continental result away from home. Angel Correa's strike in the 33rd minute from outside the area. The spectacular difference tonight.
