Chivas USA and the New England Revolution were unceremoniously dumped from the CONCACAF Champions League after home-and-away series with Panama City’s Tauro FC and Trinidad and Tobago’s Joe Public, respectively.

The Revs, who sat eight starters, did not, losing 4-0 at home and 6-1 in aggregate.

Both clubs can claim “tournament fatigue” as a culprit, as SuperLiga and U.S. Open Cup matches added to an already packed schedule of MLS games and exhibitions.
