Overview

• MLS clubs recorded 23 victories to Liga MX’s 15 and outscored Mexican rivals 104 goals to 78 during the group stage.
• Pre-tournament favorites Monterrey, América, Chivas, Cruz Azul and Pumas UNAM all failed to reach the quarterfinals.
• Cruz Azul endured a 7-0 loss to Seattle Sounders, marking the largest margin in Leagues Cup history.
• Eight quarterfinalists have been confirmed—half representing each league—and Mexico’s entries are Toluca, Tigres UANL, Pachuca and Puebla.
• Uncertainties loom over future Mexico matches because the Leagues Cup’s commercial dealings are conducted in U.S. dollars rather than pesos.
