Match Preview: What’s at stake?
Cruz Azul managed to start their participation on a positive note, looking to position themselves among the top spots in the standings for Liga MX teams, a similar scenario to how their MLS rival arrives for this second matchday of the League Phase as they look to keep advancing in the competition.

The team managed by Joel Huiqui wants to elevate its level at the start of the season, remembering that the current Liga MX champions managed to secure all three points on the first matchday of action in the binational tournament after defeating Philadelphia Union 1-0 with a goal from Jose Paradela in the early minutes of the match.
Although La Maquina managed to be one of the few Mexican soccer squads to claim a win on Matchday 1 of the 2026 Leagues Cup, their performance must be replicated in this second commitment to uphold their name and avoid joining the squads that lost to MLS teams.
On the other hand, New York City FC also secured a victory in their first test of the tournament, defeating Santos Laguna 2-0 with goals from Tayvon Gray and Nico Cavallo. Following the resumption of MLS after the 2026 World Cup, NYC FC maintained an undefeated record, registering wins against Columbus Crew and Chicago Fire, a draw with Toronto FC, and a win over Santos on Matchday 1 of the Leagues Cup.
