This Thursday, September 16, on the day of the Independence of Mexico, Cruz Azul and Rayados de Monterrey will face in the return match of the semifinals of the CONCACAF Champions League 2021. The match will be played from 21:00 hours and its main stage will be the Azteca Stadium.

The results you need Blue Cross
A draw and a defeat will leave the Machine eliminated in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Champions League 2021. Considering that Rayados de Monterrey already took the victory in the first leg, by 1-0, it is that today the celestes must surpass yes or yes this marker to advance to the defining party of the contest.
In the other hand, indeed Blue Cross requires of a triumph on the regiomontanos to advance to the end of Concachampions. If the rivals score a goal, the difference must be two goals (3-1, 4-2, etc.). However, if Monterrey does not score, the difference may be one goal (1-0). A 2-1 gives way to the Rayados.
