Last match between Cruz Azul and Arcahaie
The first leg was played last week, where the Mexican team had more possession of the ball, but could not score against an Arcahaie team that was dedicated to defending for the entire 90 minutes.
There was little action up forward by the Haitians, and little idea for Reynoso's team, which, by the way, came out with a totally different lineup to the one it plays in Liga MX.

Arcahaie's key player
A key player for Aracahaie was Sylvenson Colin, their central defender who tired to cut out crosses time and time again.
He will have to come out very focused if he wants his team to achieve a feat at the Azteca stadium.

Cruz Azul's key player
Elías Hernández played all 90 minutes of the previous match, and could have made the difference but was not convincing enough to score.
In the second leg, he will try to make a difference for La Maquina to advance to the next round.
Arcahaie narrowly misses out the trip
Arcahaie FC was nearly not going to play in the second match due to financial problems, however, CONCACAF gave the Haitian team a loan of US$70,000, of the US$130,000 they need to arrive in Mexico.
The payment will have to be paid with the money obtained by the visiting team from its participation in the Concachampions, but the second match will be played.
Cruz Azul comes to define everything at home
In the last match between the two teams, the result was unexpected for the team coached by Juan Reynoso, who came out with an alternate team unable to score in Haitian territory.
The match ended in a 0-0 draw to be decided in the second leg.
