What They're Saying
America manager Gustavo Matosas (via Esto): "We're playing at home, with our fans. That will help us with everything. I'm sure the players will leave everything on the pitch and our confidence to overturn this deficit is intact. I always plan to win and I want it to be by many goals, so Saturday we're coming out ready to win at the Azteca."
Pachuca manager Diego Alonso (via Esto): "To talk about what is deserved is difficult. I never worry about what happened because I don't like to. If I think we played a great game and with the intent to score more than three goals, I'll have the sensation that we played a great game that made a huge difference. But America have great players, a great goalkeeper, good defenders and of course they have great strikers up top."
