Reigning Concacaf Champions Cup holders Cruz Azul host LAFC on Tuesday night in the second leg of the quarterfinals, needing to produce a special performance to keep their title defense alive.
LAFC destroyed the Liga MX giants 3–0 in the first leg at BMO Field a week ago. Marc Dos Santos’ side were ruthless in transition and showcased the full arsenal of their attacking firepower, continuing to cement their status as arguably the best team in MLS right now ... and perhaps all of North America.
On the other end of the spectrum stands Cruz Azul. After a strong start to the year, La Máquina are winless in their last six, firmly putting manager Nicolás Larcamón on the hot seat. Cruz Azul have completely collapsed over the past month, and it will take an emphatic return to form to even sniff a potential comeback.
Playing in their temporary home of Puebla, Mexico, away from their fortress in Mexico City, Cruz Azul are obligated to show some fighting spirit to try and erase the three-goal deficit. But with La Máquina going all-out-attack, LAFC will like their chances of punishing them on the counter to bag an all-important away goal that all but guarantees their place in the semifinals.
Here’s how you can watch the decisive Champions Cup quarterfinals bout between Cruz Azul and LAFC.
