With the 2-0 victory as visitors in Costa Rica, New York City FC are the main favorites to win this series of the round of 16 of the Concacaf Champions league. Even without the first leg being disputed, it was anticipated that the New Yorkers would be superior and they have asserted their favoritism.

On the side of Santos de Guapiles, they know that what they must go looking for is less than a miracle. With the level they showed in the first leg, in which they tried 11 shots, but only 1 of those went on goal (and of course they didn’t score) it seems that only a catastrophe would allow them to eliminate New York. They must raise their level a lot if they want to pass the round.

In the case of Santos de Guapiles, they knew they were facing far superior rivals. With the negative result obtained as locals, Costa Ricans will have to go looking for little less than a miracle in the United States. The chances are really very few, but they exist, and Guapiles will go for them.
