Cruz Azul claimed the second seed and will meet Puebla, a team la Maquina demolished by 4-0 just two weeks ago.

Morelia and Santos will meet, with Monarcas claiming the home field with a better record than Santos.

America's point against Santos was good enough to move las Aguilas into fourth place in the overall table and America will have home-field advantage over Monterrey in their series.

Times and dates for all games will be announced on Tuesday.
