Columbus Crew

<p>The Crew became the first MLS team to ever win on the road in Mexico in CONCACAF Champions Cup action after losing the home leg Tuesday night.

Former MLS SuperDraft picks Patrick Schulte and Max Arfsten were the heroes late on, coming up clutch in the shootout.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>"Patrick has been, again, I'm not surprised to be honest with you, because this is not easy what I'm asking to my players," Columbus head coach Wilfried Nancy said postgame.</p><p> "I've learned a lot today about what we can do, about the adjustments that I could have done better. But at the end of the day, Pat deserved that. I'm not surprised because, you know, the first question that people ask me is, 'Do you think that Pat is going to be able to keep going?' And I say, 'Why do you think like this?' Let's see. And he knows that he has to evolve and so I'm really happy for him because I can tell you that he was really, really disappointed when we conceded the [opening] goal."</p>

WHAT CREW BOSS WILFRIED NANCY SAID

<p>Schulte's night began with a disaster, he alone was at fault for the opening goal for Tigres, losing control of the ball in the box while trying to play out of the back.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Tigres take the lead over Columbus early 😱 <a href="https://t.co/8vv57PwSgi">pic.twitter.com/8vv57PwSgi</a></p>— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) <a href="https://twitter.com/FOXSoccer/status/1777862046714900782?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 10, 2024</a></blockquote>
