Warm up
Both Pumas and DC United are already on the field at Audi Field Stadium warming up for the match, which is just minutes away;
What does DC United need to advance?
On the other hand, the home side has a slightly better chance of qualifying for the next round since, even if they lose, the Washingtonians are already in the next round, but they will be looking to advance as group leaders. DC United with a win or a draw (even if they lose on penalties) would advance as group leaders. On the other hand, if they lose, they would qualify for the round of 32 as second in their sector.
What does Pumas need to advance?
If the universitarios want to advance to the round of 32 of this Leagues Cup, they have only two possible scenarios. If they win, they automatically advance as group winners. But if they draw, they would have to win the penalty shootout to take the extra point and thus advance as second in the group with 3 points. If Mohamed's Pumas lose the match or lose on penalties, they would be out of the next round.

How are the DC United doing?
On the other hand, the Washington, DC United, from the capital, arrives to this match already qualified to the next round of the Leagues Cup, but if they want to keep the first place in the group, they need at least a draw by any score. The Red and Blacks, led by the legendary former English player Wayne Rooney, are not having a good time in the Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer and are in the middle of the table with 21 points behind the leader, Cincinnati. In this second Leagues Cup match, DC United arrives with a narrow victory over Montreal with a goal at 70' by Erik Hurtado.

How are the Pumas doing?
The UNAM Pumas, coached by Antonio 'El Turco' Mohammed, have not been at their most effective in both Liga MX and the Leagues Cup. In the four matches they have played in this semester, they have only been able to win once and that was against Xolos de Tijuana in their visit to Estadio Caliente where they came from behind to win 3-2. Since that game, the universitarios have been in a rut with three consecutive draws. In their most recent match, Pumas faced Montreal in their first Leagues Cup match where they managed to tie the score at two goals in the last minutes. In the penalty kicks, two mistakes, one by Aldrete and the other by Ruvalcaba, would leave the felines without the extra point, leaving them with just one point.
