The bad streak continues Liga MX against the teams of the MLS in the Leagues Cupbecause now it fell Blue Crossone of the favourites to win the cup, but which has now complicated its passage to the next round.
The good news is that Machine They lost on penalties, so they got a point and have a little more chance of advancing, even though they are currently last in their group and there is concern among the fans.
The first thing you should know is that in the Leagues Cupthe winner after 90 minutes gets 3 points; in case of a tie, each team gets one point and another extra is played in penalties; while the loser does not get any points.
Also, remember that right now, Philadelphia Union is in first place with 3 points, followed by Charlotte FCwith 2 units (and all its matches played), and Blue Crosswith a dot.
The simplest combination to advance is that Cruz Azul defeated Philadelphia in the 90 minutes; with this they would add 4 points in total and would be in first place; but they also have a second option to play in the round of 32.
Yeah Blue Cross draws and wins on penalties, would advance in second place in their group, with 3 points, behind Philadelphiawhich would reach 4 units.
If he Blue Cross draws against Philadelphia Unionbut loses on penalties, would be tied for second place with Charlotte FCboth with 2 points; however, the pass would go to the American team.
This is because the tiebreaker criterion is the result between both teams, including penalties, so Machine is obliged to win, either in the 90 minutes or on penalties, against Philadelphia Uniona club that has already qualified.
