Luis Malagon recorded four saves en route to a clean sheet for the visitors, while Earl Edwards finished with three saves for the Revolution.
Even though they had lost hope of winning Tuesday's match, New England had a chance to improve its aggregate score in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time, but Matt Polster's header went wide right.

Crew 1, Tigres UANL 1
Diego Rossi scored in the 43rd minute to even up the match and the score held from there as host Columbus and Tigres UANL played to a draw in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal series.
Andre-Pierre Gignac opened the scoring in the 18th minute for Tigres. With time winding down in the first half, Aidan Morris intercepted an attempted clearing pass out of the 18-yard box and immediately passed it to Rossi. As the defense converged on him just inside the box, Rossi unleashed a shot that found the inside of the left post to tie the match.
