America manager Antonio Mohamed had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Univision): "We are in a path where we do not care what opponent we face. We play every game like we're on track to achieve that winning mentality, that identity. We are concerned [after last week's loss to Pumas UNAM], but we are concerned over the way we play."

"The mentality is the same no matter who is the opponent," he added. "And respect is the same. We do not change our ways for the opponent.
