NYC FC: Finish off the series
The MLS champion, NYC FC, wants to give the final blow and advance to the semifinal of the CONCACAF Champions League and, to do so, they will have to win, draw, lose by one goal or even by two goals as long as they score a minimum of two, remembering that the away goal counts; they are coming from beating Montreal 4-1 in the local tournament.
Comunicaciones: to row against the current
Comunicaciones wants to pull off the same upset as they did in the round of 16 and, this Tuesday at home, they will be looking to pull off the upset. It should be remembered that they lost 3-1 in the first leg, so with 2-0 they will be advancing; 3-1 would mean forced extra time and if they concede a goal they will have to win by three to advance, with any other result they are out.
The Kick-off
The Comunicaciones vs NYC FC match will be played at the Doroteo Guamuch Flores Stadium, in Guatemala, Guatemala. The kick-off is scheduled at 8:00 pm ET.
