Montreal Impact host Atletico San Luis at the Saputo Stadium on Tuesday (July 30) for their second group match of the 2024 Leagues Cup. The Impact lost 4-1 to Orlando City in their opening game and are looking to recover themselves to stand a chance of reaching the next round.
Laurent Courtois's side were cut open at the back by Orlando, who raced to a 3-0 lead in the opening half. Dagur Dan Dorhallsson, Facundo Torres and Ramiro Enrique struck for the Lions before Martin Ojeda put the final nail in Montreal's coffin with a fourth goal minutes before the hour mark.
It has been a challenging campaign for Montreal, who've won only six times in 27 games across competitions. All their wins have come in MLS, with the Canadian side languishing in 11th in the Eastern Conference with 27 points from 25 games.
Meanwhile, San Luis have also endured a stop-start campaign in their league, winning just one of their opening four games in the Liga MX Apertura. They opened their campaign with a 2-1 defeat of Club America, but things have gone downhill thereafter.
