What They're Saying
Pachuca winger Hirving Lozano (via Esto): "Of course, we have to eliminate America. We have a high quality of play and great players. It all depends on whether we work hard and do what our manager [Diego] Alonso tells us."
America president Ricardo Pelaez (via Esto): "It comes to my attention that during the season people said that we were garbage, that we weren't good enough. Now, we're practically leaders with Tigres and separated by only one goal. That's it. We won the Concachampions, we're champions of the second division, we made the playoffs in the Sub-20 and Sub-17 categories, with our hopes that the youngsters have personality and get used to winning as kids. We know what America is, what the club represents and when we're united, nothing can go wrong."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Lozano enjoyed a stronger campaign than his counterpart Jurgen Damm. In 13 league appearances, the 19-year-old finished with three goals and two assists.
Pachuca's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Perez; Ayovi, Mosquera, Herrera, Salinas; Hernandez, Pizarro, Gutierrez; Lozano, Nahuelpan, Damm
America's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Munoz; Samudio, Aguilar, Goltz, Aguilar; Quintero, Martinez, Guerrero, Arroyo; Peralta, Benedetto
