Due to the most away goals, the reigning MLS champion New York City FC qualified for the semifinals of the 2022 Concacaf Champions League on Tuesday, despite losing 4-2 in the quarterfinal round to Comunicaciones de Guatemala.
In a duel of emotions in the second half, the New Yorkers qualified with a 5-5 overall after facing a fierce Guatemalan team that did not lower their arms despite being down twice on the scoreboard.
The visitors scored Argentine striker Valentín Castellanos and Brazilian attacker Talles Magno in the 32 and 57 minutes of the game held this Tuesday at the Doroteo Guamuch Flores stadium, in downtown Guatemala City.
Costa Rican striker Andrés Lezcano (45), defender Nicolás Samayoa (69), steering wheel Lynner Garcia (73) and creative José Contreras (88) scored for Comunicaciones, but their goals were insufficient to reverse the key and achieve a new feat in the tournament.
The Guatemalan team came from achieving the feat of eliminating Colorado Rapids in February in the second round, in the final match played in the United States under heavy snow and a temperature of 14 degrees below zero.
