The quarterfinal draw for the CONCACAF Champions League was released on Tuesday and the lone U.S. representative, Columbus, drew a powerful foe in Mexico's Toluca.

The Crew will host Toluca in the first leg during the week of March 9-11 and will travel to Mexico the following week to finish out the tie.

Mexico has three other teams still in the competition and all four squads will be on the road for the opening leg.

Pachuca, home of U.S. international Jose Torres, will take on Comunicaciones of Guatemala in the first knockout round. The winner of that tie will be pitted against the winner of the Crew/Toluca showdown.

The other side of the bracket pits Cruz Azul against Panama's Arabe Unido and Pumas against Marathon of Honduras, with the winners of those two ties slated to meet in the semifinals.
