Mexican National Team Roster Leaked?
Despite sneaking into the Liga MX Liguilla, defending champion Leon continued their journey to repeat after eliminating Cruz Azul in the quarterfinals. Even as an eighth seed, manager Gustavo Matosas warns that you could never underestimate his side (h/t to Medio Tiempo). "You can never underestimate the players of Leon. They demonstrated maturity and delivered quality play," Matosas said.
"They never put their heads down," he added.
"I want to congratulate my players, who are spectacular. We demonstrated why we are La Fiera [the Beast]."

Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Leon's Luis Montes proved to be a nuisance in the return leg of the Liguilla quarterfinals. Though featured as a right midfielder, the 27-year-old registred quality touches from the central part of the pitch in Leon's 2-2 draw with Cruz Azul. He would score the eventual winner in the 59' and will look to build on that form tonight. He'll need to if he hopes to play a pivotal role for the Mexican national team in Brazil this summer.
Leon's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Yarbrough; Hernandez, Ibarra, Marquez, Magallon; Cardenas, Vazquez, Peña, Montes; Boselli, Pritos
Toluca's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Talavera; Ponce, Silva, Galindo, Gomez; Mathias, Rios, Gutierrez; Benitez, Lopez, Esquivel
