Motagua host the first leg in this deciding CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16 game. Seattle Sounders will try their very best to bring a solid result back to Stubhub Center before the return leg in 7 days.
These teams have little in common geographically as Seattle Sounders have to travel 5000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Both squads have had ample time to rest since their last match. Let's have faith in that this will be an energetic game!

Last season, Motagua's CONCACAF Champions League journey ended in the 8th finals.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Motagua's two home games in the Liga Nacional so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano.
An away draw last time out for Motagua, facing Olimpia in a game that ended 1-1.
Before that, Motagua had a Liga Nacional home game versus Victoria which ended with a victory 1-0.There will be little rest for Motagua after this match as they are travelling to UPNFM for a Liga Nacional game in only three days.
