Club América and Minnesota United are set to square off this Saturday in Houston as the 2025 Leagues Cup rolls into its second round of group-stage drama.
The Loons burst out of the gates midweek with a dominant 4-1 thumping of Querétaro, sending a clear message to the rest of the field. In contrast, América were left frustrated after a 2-2 draw with Real Salt Lake, eventually dropping a penalty shootout and settling for just a single point. That leaves Minnesota sitting comfortably in an MLS knockout spot, fourth overall, with a +3 goal difference, while América sits mid-pack in the Liga MX standings, clinging to ninth place with a neutral goal tally.

CF America team news
All eyes will be on América’s attacking duo, Brian Rodríguez and Alejandro Zendejas, both of whom are familiar names to U.S. fans. Rodríguez previously starred for LAFC, while Zendejas came up through the FC Dallas ranks and has earned caps with the U.S. Men’s National Team. Both featured in July's Liga MX squad at the MLS All-Star Game in Austin and have already found the net this season—Rodríguez bagging one against RSL.
Minnesota United team news
While América typically controls possession with a heavy-footed style, Minnesota prefers a different rhythm, ranking among the lowest in MLS for time on the ball. But that didn't stop them from running riot in their Leagues Cup opener. Four different scorers, Kelvin Yeboah, Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Anthony Markanich, and Tani Oluwaseyi, contributed to a fluid, confident performance that has the squad brimming with belief heading into their clash with Mexico’s most decorated club.
