Tijuana Players to Watch
The next three players are considered key to Tijuana's offensive attack and it is likely that any one of them could score in the game against the Philadelphia Union. Paraguayan player Carlos González (#32) is the team's creative, his ability to control the ball and generate plays have been of great value to his team. He is the team's leading scorer and we could see him score on Saturday. Midfielder Lucas Rodríguez (#11) is another very important on-field play distributor and is the team's biggest assister in Liga MX. At his young age he has accomplished a lot and he is an important part of the team. Finally, the 42-year-old goalkeeper José Corona (#30) is one of the best goalkeepers in Liga MX, his height allows him to be a stopper for any ball and it is very important for his team not to receive a goal on Saturday.
Tijuana in the tournament
The Mexican team had a good start to the tournament so far in the MX League, after 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, they have 4 points in the general table that puts them in eighth position.

Their last game was on July 14, 2023 and resulted in a 2-1 victory against Cruz Azul at Estadio Caliente and thus they achieved their first victory in the tournament. They arrive as the least favorites to win this game, however they could surprise and win.
Philadelphia Union Players to Watch
The next three players are considered key to the Philadelphia Union's offensive attack and it is likely that any of them could score in the game against Tijuana. The Argentine player Julián Carranza (#9) is a great striker who is recognized as the team's top scorer and as a great leader on the field. His ability to control the ball and generate plays have been invaluable to his team and we could see him score on Saturday. Midfielder Dániel Gazdag (#10) is another all-important on-court play dealer, his great ball control making him the team's biggest assister. Finally, the 34-year-old goalkeeper Joe Bendik (#12) is one of the best goalkeepers in the Leagues Cup, his height allows him to save almost any ball and is very important so that his team does not receive a goal on Saturday.
