For match day 2 of the local tournament, La Máquina will host the Scarlets on the Azteca pitch and at GOAL we’ll tell you how to follow the match.
In the second round of the MX competition, Cruz Azul and Toluca step onto the field for the second match of the season, continuing the opening schedule that began in 2023 at the iconic Azteca Stadium. The night promises a mix of ambition and nerves as both sides look to set the tone for the campaign ahead, with each team eyeing the points that can spark momentum in a tightly contested table.
La Máquina arrives at this rendezvous after a rough start, having fallen 2-0 in their opener against Atlas Foxes. The team, under the steady guidance of coach Ricardo Ferretti, heads home hoping to turn the page quickly and secure their first three points of the season. The players know that the home crowd can lift performances, and a strong showing in front of the supporters would send a clear message about their intent for the rest of the campaign.
The Red Devils, for their part, settled for a goalless draw in their opening appearance against Necaxa. Ignacio Ambriz’s squad will travel to the nation’s capital for their next challenge, aiming to convert even a point into a stepping stone for a winning run. The preparation has been thorough, with tactical drills focused on solidity at the back and sharper transitions in attack, a combination that could unlock the scoring opportunities needed to climb the standings early in the season.
At GOAL expect a detailed breakdown of the competition’s key moments, players to watch, and strategic angles from both clubs as they contest another important fixture in a season full of implications for their short- and long-term aspirations.
