On Wednesday evening, the Sounders will face a Mexican club in CONCACAF Champions League for the 14th time since 2010 in Guadalajara. In leg one of the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal matchup Chivas, which the Sounders won 1-0, Chivas became the fifth Liga MX team to face the Sounders in the regional tournament, joining Monterrey (twice), Santos Laguna (twice), Tigres UANL and Club America.

In 2013, the Sounders became the first MLS team to defeat a club from Mexico (Tigres UANL). Take a look at how the Sounders have performed in each meeting against a Mexican club in CCL play:

REVIEW: In their first matchup against a Liga MX side, the Sounders came up short in both contests during the group stage. Notably, Mike Fucito gave the Sounders a 2-0 lead in Mexico after an earlier own goal, but Monterrey stormed back with three goals in the second half.
