Veracruz captain Leobardo Lopez (via Esto): "The team has an identity, a style of play. It doesn't matter who are our opponents on the pitch. We try to be on the same page in all games."
Leon defender Nacho Gonzalez (via Esto): "I think it's important when a team is balanced. That's happened to us and that allows you to achieve things. We are also in a good run of form and it's time for that to continue."
