Statements Orlando City
Óscar Pareja spoke prior to this decisive match: “It is true that we have already played three games and they were close. Orlando understands the responsibility it means to come to seek classification and thinking as a coach to go anywhere and be too conservative would be a wrong idea. The games are presented, the teams are demonstrating. We have a great responsibility to show the level that Orlando has. They won the previous series by the away goal. Taking that into consideration, we have to go look for goals."
Tigres Statements
Robert Dante Siboldi spoke prior to the match: "We faced a great team, but we had to be measured and those who played on the field this time, both the starters and those who came on later, did quite well."
"I think we deserved to score at least one goal. And although that score was given, it leaves me calm that the boys are fine, they are involved, they are committed, even though it was not an easy game."
“The latest results have not been what we wanted, it has a positive and negative side, the positive side is that we have been improving, I prefer the game against América and the first half with Toluca, we lacked skill against América but we have been improving little by little, due to the load of games there is not much time to celebrate when we win or regret when we lose.”
"We have lacked concreteness, definition, with America we had a lot of generation of play and arrivals, we lacked precision and serenity to put it in the goal, we had anxiety to score the goal, that is what we lack, serenity, there is capacity, we We needed to round out that match with one or two goals, I hope we get it in the next one.”
Orlando City's latest roster
Gallese; Thorhallsson, Schlegel, Jansson, Rafael Santos; Felipe, Araujo, Enrique, Ojeda, Angulo, McGuire.
Tigres' latest roster
Nahuel Guzmán; Garza, Diego Reyes, Sánchez, Eduardo Tercero; Fernando Gorriarán, Fierro; Diego Lainez, Brunetta, Marcelo Flores; Nico Ibáñez.
How does Orlando City arrive?
Orlando City fell to Minnesota in its last MLS game, Pareja's team will seek to play a great game and score a victory, however it arrives in the same conditions as the locals, a situation that will be quite complex .
How does the Tigres arrive?
Tigres did not have a good match in the Liga MX, the feline squad lost to América two goals to zero at the Azteca Stadium, so they arrive injured for this match, where they will be able to count on a full team. Those led by Siboldi need to win or draw to qualify for the next phase.
