Led by the Peruvian Juan Reynoso, in the first leg of the series the Machine beat Toronto 1-3 in their own stadium with two goals from Ecuadorian Bryan Angulo and one from Paraguayan Pablo Aguilar and now they intend to close the tie with a win at home.
Cruz Azul, six times Concacaf champion , passes for a moment of rise by having led the regular phase of the Clausura tournament and going as the first seed to the quarterfinals, which Reynoso wants to complement with a triumph in the regional competition.
Toronto gave the note of the round of 16 phase by eliminating León, Mexican soccer champion.
Although the team led by Chris Armas arrives with a disadvantage on the scoreboard and will play in a Estadio Azteca complicated for visiting teams, Reynoso has made it clear that they will not consider the opposite less and will seek to get the most out of their players , in search of access to the phase of the best four.
Arms will have as a priority to stand up to the defense. Although he needs two goals to tie the series, he cannot allow himself to be scored, otherwise the road would be uphill, so he will organize his attack only after ensuring order in the rear.
Whoever wins the match will face in the semifinals the best between Monterrey de México and the Columbus Crew of the MLS , which are tied 2-2 and will meet on Wednesday in Monterrey.
