Montreal Impact
The Canadian team did not start their participation in the best way in this 2022 MLS kickoff campaign. With three games played and none won, they have a goal difference of minus six. Montreal occupies the last position in the Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer.
Cruz Azul
La Máquina was dominant during the first leg of the first round, however, the Celestes were unable to capitalize on all the scoring opportunities they generated and what could have been a long scoreline ended up giving a minimal advantage to the La Noria team. Cruz Azul was the only Mexican team participating in this edition of the Concachampions to win in this first round, and everything seems to indicate that if they secure the advantage at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, they will be the only representative of the Liga MX in the next phase, as León and Pumas have a complicated outlook. Reynoso's men remain at the top of their local league, and just the day before, a goal from Juan Escobar and a goal from Luis Abram gave them the victory in one of the Mexican soccer classics against Pumas.
Cruz Azul is in fifth place with 17 points, five wins, two draws and three defeats. With a 4 goal difference
For the ticket
Montreal Impact and Cruz Azul will meet in the second leg of the Concacaf Champions League quarterfinals. After the Canadians visited the Azteca Stadium and rescued an important result, although it was a defeat, the score seems comfortable to turn it around at home and eliminate the Mexican team.
