The first leg ended Toronto-Cruz Azul 1-3. All is set for the decider in this CONCACAF Champions League Quarter-finals fixture!

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Liga MX. This match was also played here. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Toronto have had more rest.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Toronto, who are travelling more than 4000 kilometers to play this game.

Toronto form and stats

Toronto was sent out of CONCACAF Champions League in the 8th finals last season.

0-0-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Toronto in their Major League Soccer matches away. Total CONCACAF Champions League statistics for Toronto: 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on C. Armas, the Toronto manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Vancouver Whitecaps.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Toronto manager C. Armas as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against New York RB.

Toronto have the goal stats of 2-4 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
