Match Preview: What’s at stake?

Columbus Crew begin their 2026 Leagues Cup campaign with home-field advantage against Atlas in the opening match of Phase One, a stage that could determine whether they reach the knockout rounds.

Under the tournament’s format, each club plays three interleague matches against teams from the opposite league, with separate MLS and Liga MX standings deciding which four clubs from each league advance to the quarterfinals. Every point is crucial, making a winning start especially valuable.

The Crew will be looking to capitalize on home support at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field as they aim to establish themselves among the MLS contenders early in the competition.

With only three Phase One fixtures on the schedule, there is little margin for error, and dropping points could leave teams relying on results elsewhere to stay alive. Atlas, meanwhile, arrives determined to give Liga MX an early boost in the league-vs.-league battle that has become the defining storyline of the Leagues Cup.

Beyond advancing to the knockout stage, the tournament carries added significance because the finalists—and the winner of the third-place match—qualify for the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup. That makes every match meaningful from the opening day.

The first leg left positive feelings for La Maquina thanks to the efficiency of Christian Ebere, who scored a fundamental brace. With the aggregate score at 3-2 in their favor, the celestes return home with the mission of closing the series and avoiding surprises against Diego Cocca’s side.

Below, we detail all the possible scenarios for this second leg clash, where the sporting advantage and home-field advantage play a decisive role in Cruz Azul’s aspirations.

What happens if Cruz Azul win vs Atlas?

A victory by any score at Estadio Banorte gives the cementeros an automatic place in the semifinals. By winning the second leg, the aggregate score would expand in their favor, eliminating any possibility of a comeback for Atlas. It is the simplest scenario for Huiqui’s squad.

Getting the win would allow the team to control the rhythm of the match and give confidence to the fans in their return to the capital stadium. With the three points secured, La Maquina would advance with a very strong winning momentum, consolidating their great form after the departure of Nicolas Larcamon.

What happens if Cruz Azul and Atlas tie?

A draw in the second leg also sends Cruz Azul directly to the next round of the Liguilla. Since they won 3-2 at Estadio Jalisco, any draw, 0-0, 1-1, or higher, maintains the one-goal aggregate difference, enough to eliminate the Guadalajara side without extra complications.

What happens if Cruz Azul lose vs Atlas?

In the event of a defeat, the situation depends on the goal difference. If Cruz Azul lose by one goal, 0-1, 1-2, etc., the aggregate score would be tied; however, La Maquina would advance to the semifinals thanks to the sporting advantage earned by finishing third in the overall standings.

The situation changes drastically if Atlas manage to win by two or more goals. If the aggregate score ends against the celestes, Cruz Azul would be eliminated from the competition.

The team led by Diego Cocca, Atlas, arrive with momentum after their dramatic win against Club America at the Estadio Azteca, a result that secured their place.

Meanwhile, Cruz Azul approach the match with a key change on the bench following Nicolas Larcamon’s departure. Now under Joel Huiqui, they aim to regain prominence and back up the strong tournament that placed them among the teams to watch.

What happens if Cruz Azul win vs Atlas?

Considering that the second leg remains at the Estadio Banorte, La Maquina would be in a strong position if they win against Atlas, since a draw or even a loss by the same scoreline would still see them advance to the semifinals of the Clausura 2026.

If they also win the second leg, they would face the winner of the matchup between Pachuca and Toluca. At the same time, the other side of the bracket features Pumas UNAM against Club America and Guadalajara against Tigres UANL.

What happens if Cruz Azul and Atlas tie?

In this scenario, there would still be positives for Huiqui’s side, as the Estadio Jalisco is often a hostile environment. Following that, a draw or win at Banorte the following week would place them among the top four teams in the domestic competition.

What happens if Cruz Azul lose vs Atlas?

This is where an asterisk comes into play. If La Maquina lose in Guadalajara against Atlas, they would need to win by at least the same scoreline at the Azteca, remembering that the sporting advantage is on their side. However, if they win the match but by a smaller goal difference, they would be eliminated from the competition.
