Fidel Martinez. "Alegria" returned to the Mexican border. The Ecuadorian soccer player returns to the Liga MX after playing for three years in different teams of the globe. Martinez was a reference for Tijuana in his time and now in his second stage he can be again.

Javier Salas. Gradually the poblano player became a reference in the team's midfield. Since his arrival at the beginning of 2020 he has become a standard bearer of the captain's badge.    

 

The xoloitzcuintle board decided to support Pablo Guede as head coach of Tijuana. However, the border team started the tournament with two zero goal draws, first with Pumas and then with Juarez.

No one would think that the youngest coach in the Liga MX, Nicolas Larcamon would have a good start with Puebla. The Argentinean coaches got four points out of a possible six in their first two matches; they drew with Chivas and beat Cruz Azul.

One of the curious stories about this match is the reunion of a couple of players with their former teammates. Brayan Angulo arrived at the border for the present tournament after wearing La Franja shirt for six seasons, while Clifford Aboagye meets Puebla after being with Tijuana the previous tournament.

The Puebla vs Tijuana match will be played at the Cuauhtemoc stadium, in Puebla, Mexico.
