TIJUANA - Against all odds the Los Angeles Galaxy will be Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles' rival in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champion's League (CCL).
The LA squad could have gone through as the top seed of the group winners but following their big 4-0 loss to El Salvador's Isidro Metapan in combination with Houston Dynamo's loss left the Galaxy as the next rival of the Xolos.
