Guadalajara will face Charlotte at the Bank of America Stadium on Sunday in the second round of the 2025 Leagues Cup group stages. Chivas have struggled for results in competitive action in recent months and have begun the Leagues Cup in similar fashion.
They were beaten 1-0 by a floundering New York Red Bulls outfit in their tournament opener on Thursday and had looked set to be headed toward at least a point and then penalty shootouts before their opponents scored a 97th-minute winner.
Charlotte, meanwhile, headed into the regional showpiece in fine form as they recorded four consecutive victories in Major League Soccer before the commencement of the Leagues Cup. They were, however, blown out of the water by an impressive Juarez side in their opening game, finding themselves 3-1 down at the break before a red card to Idan Toklomati Jorno in the second half derailed their growing momentum and scuppered their chances of a comeback result.
Trending
