Montreal, Canada.- Santos Laguna is already in Canada to play the second part of this Round of 16 tie against CF Montreal in the Concacaf Champions League. He came to Maple Leaf country with a slim lead that goes a long way for this second leg.
The Concachampions is the only tournament that did not change its game mode. The continental tournament of the North, Central America and Caribbean zone will continue as usual, that is, the away goal will still be valid, except in the Grand Final of the tournament.
Based on the aforementioned, Pedro Caixinha’s team takes the lead in different ways, not only because they are 1-0 on aggregate, but because they did not receive the goal against, which could give some help to the Canadian team that will now play of premises.
The away goal forces the rival to score in the last resolution of the match to be played, that is, if Santos had received the away goal at the TSM, he would have been obliged to score at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal; He did not receive the rival’s goal and therefore highlights various sources that would give him the opportunity to overcome the first round of the 2022 Concachampions.
WHAT DOES SANTOS NEED TO CONTINUE IN COMPETITION?
Santos Laguna is ahead by one goal, so a win or draw at CF Montreal would give them a direct pass to the Quarterfinals. The only disadvantage that could complicate this matter would be the temperature that will hit Canada next Tuesday, which will not be comfortable for the Warriors.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF SANTOS RECEIVES A GOAL FROM MONTREAL?
In the event that those led by Pedro Caixinha suffer the Canadian goal, they would have to look for the equalizer to qualify in 90′. In case of ending 1-0, the game will be defined in penalties for ending with the same score that ended the first leg game; Another result would be different to know the classified to 4th Final.
The Laguneros go for a win or a tie to advance to the next phase, however if they lose by a result other than 1-0 but with a goal disadvantage they would leave CF Montreal out for the away goal, they would only say goodbye to the tournament Concacaf will lose by two goals difference, an issue that the Albiverdes will deny next Tuesday, February 22.
