What They're Saying
America manager Antonio Mohamed (via Goal): "The fans care about being champions and we are in first place. We have been in first from the beginning of the season and still are now. The feeling is one of helplessness [after Sunday's draw with Chivas Guadalajara] because we weren't able to win and we were left with a bad taste."
"Chivas sat behind the ball," he added when asked about the tactical approach of his opposition. "And the only way for the game to be attractive was for us to find a goal, but that never game. Tactically, we weren't able to find it in certain moments."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Toluca's Isaac Brizuela remains a creative force in the midfield. The 24-year-old has two goals in 14 appearances and has created a modest 17 chances.
Toluca's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Talavera; Silva, Galindo, Ponce, Rojas; Silva, Rios, Navarro, Brizuela, Benitez; Velazquez
America's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Munoz; Goltz, Aguilar, Aguilar, Mares; Molina, Sambueza, Martinez, Mendoza; Arroyo, Peralta
