Match Preview

Cruz Azul's four-match winning streak ended with a 1-1 draw against Toluca in their most recent Liga MX Clausura match on February 7, following their dominant 3-0 thrashing of Vancouver FC in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup Round One in Langley. With a commanding aggregate lead, the Mexican side has one foot in the Round of 16 and will look to avoid defeat in the return leg at Estadio Cuauhtémoc.

Vancouver, on the other hand, have been inactive since their 3-0 first-leg defeat to Cruz Azul and remain winless in their last five matches across all competitions. The Canadian side must now score at least four unanswered goals in the return leg to advance to the Round of 16 outright, or score exactly three without reply to force extra time. 

Injuries, key stats 

Azul will be without Gabriel "Toro" Fernández after he sustained an injury in the first-leg win over Vancouver, while Kevin Mier and Jesús Orozco remain sidelined for the entire 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup as they were not registered for the tournament.

Meanwhile, Vancouver will be without any reported new injuries or suspensions from the first-leg defeat, with the squad appearing fully available for the return leg.

This will be the second-ever meeting between Azul and Whitecaps.

Cruz Azul, as defending champions, are unbeaten in their last nine matches against Canadian opposition in the competition (two wins, two draws), showcasing their dominance over teams from the north.

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
