The Galaxy will open the quarterfinal round of the CONCACAF Champions League against Mexico’s Santos Laguna at the StubHub Center on Feb. 24.

The return leg of the two-game series will be played in Torreon on March 1.

The Galaxy has made it beyond the quarterfinals once in the last 15 years. Tijuana, which, like Santos Laguna, plays in the Liga MX, eliminated the Galaxy from the tournament in 2014.
