Cruz Azul play host to Seattle Sounders in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup round-of-16 tie on Tuesday. With last week’s first leg ending all square, a place in the quarter-finals is very much up for grabs at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario.

Cruz Azul were involved in a share of the spoils once again as they salvaged a 1-1 draw with Monterrey in their Mexican Liga MX clash at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario on Sunday.

The Azulones have now played out three back-to-back stalemates, including a goalless draw against Seattle Sounders in the first leg of their Champions Cup last-16 clash on March 6.

Cruz Azul kicked off the cup campaign with an emphatic 7-0 aggregate win over Haiti outfit Real Hope and will be looking to keep their continental quest alive on Tuesday.

Seattle Sounders, on the other hand, turned in a five-star display in MLS last Saturday when they steamrolled Los Angeles FC 5-2 at Lumen Field.

Brian Schmetzer’s men had failed to win their opening two games of the 2025 league campaign, playing out a 2-2 draw with Charlotte FC on February 23, one week before suffering a 2-0 loss against Real Salt Lake.

The 62-year-old coach will hope Saturday’s resounding display can provide a much-needed morale boost as his side face an uphill challenge in Mexico this week.
