The Colorado Rapids will take on Liga MX side Toluca in the Leagues Cup Round of 16 at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park on Tuesday.
Both sides needed to overcome deficits in the Round of 32 to set up this tie. Toluca snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in Houston after scoring a second-half stoppage equalizer and then winning the eventual penalty shootout over Houston Dynamo.
Colorado Rapids, meanwhile, erased an early deficit against Juarez, then held on to win 3-2. The winner of this clash will face either St. Louis City or Club América in the quarterfinals.

Team news & squads
Toluca team news
Toluca's preparations for the match have been hampered by the absence of Wanderson, who has missed the last four games due to an injury sustained shortly after signing from Avai. The Brazilian midfielder has yet to make his official debut for the club.
However, there could be a silver lining for the hosts, as Iván López has caught the eye with his recent performances off the bench.
López scored a crucial equalizer and converted the winning penalty in Toluca's dramatic victory over Houston Dynamo in the previous round, and he may be rewarded with a starting berth for Wednesday's match.
Winger Jesús Angulo has been on a roll lately, finding the back of the net in his last three matches leading up to Wednesday's crucial Leagues Cup clash.
Toluca possible XI: Volpi; Caprizo, Mendez, Luan, Gallardo; Baeza, Ruiz; Araujo, Vega, Angulo; Paulinho
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Volpi, L. Garcia |
| Defenders: | Pinuelas, Mendez, Pereira, Orrantia, L. Garcia, B. Garcia, Gallardo, Freyfeld, Carrera |
