What They're Saying

Cruz Azul captain Christian Gimenez on what the Clasico Joven means (via Esto): "We know that a match against America is special. It's a Clasico and ever since I arrived at this club, I've said that it's an attractive game for the fans."

America defender Ventura Alvarado on the nature of the rivalry (via Goal): "Since playing in reserves I've played against Cruz Azul, and the matches are intense no matter which location they might be in. On the field it doesn't matter because they want to beat us and they play the game like it's a final."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Gimenez has done his part, despite Cruz Azul's porous start. In five appearances, the 34-year-old has two goals and 10 shots on goal.
