In a crucial match with both sides facing elimination, Club Leon and Colorado Rapids will face off in their final Leagues Cup group-stage clash at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Tuesday.
“It’s do or die for us. We need to win to continue in the competition,” said Club Leon coach after their recent struggles.
Only one team will advance to the round of 32, joining Portland Timbers who have already secured their spot as group winners.
Club Leon is currently on a poor run of form, without a win in five straight matches across all competitions. They sit 14th in the Liga MX table and are teetering on the edge of an early exit from the Leagues Cup.
“We know what we need to do to turn things around. We are focused on getting the win tomorrow,” said a Club Leon player.
Colorado Rapids suffered a heavy defeat in their last match, losing 4-0 to Portland Timbers. However, their strong home form, with five wins in six matches, bodes well for their chances in the upcoming game.
“It’s crucial to perform well in front of our fans and secure the victory we need to advance,” said the Colorado Rapids head coach.
Both teams will be aiming to secure the win that will see them progress to the knockout stages of the competition.
“It’s all to play for. We are ready to give our all and fight for the result,” said a player from Colorado Rapids.
With tensions high and everything on the line, the stage is set for an intense battle between Club Leon and Colorado Rapids in this must-win encounter.
