The Seattle Sounders return to the site of one of their biggest moments when they visit Cruz Azul tonight at Estadio Olimpico in Mexico City. The last time they were there, they pulled out a 2-2 tie that put them on the path to win the 2022 Concacaf Champions League.
A similar result would put them through to the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals. They enter the match tied 0-0 with the away-goals tiebreaker there for the taking.
Cruz Azul are coming off a 1-1 tie with Monterrey in Liga MX play and they currently sit fifth in the Clausura table. They’ve been one of the top defensive teams in Mexico this tournament but have only scored 15 goals in 11 matches.
The Sounders are coming off a 5-2 win over LAFC in league play and have now scored 13 goals in six matches across all competitions.
Notes
- The Sounders come into this match riding a 13-game unbeaten streak in Concacaf play that dates back to 2020.
- The winner of this series will face the winner of Club America-Chivas de Guadalajara. Chivas currently lead that series 1-0, with the return leg being played at America.
