It's game one of two in the CONCACAF Champions League as Deportivo Pantoja host Monterrey. This is a 8th Finals fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
Deportivo Pantoja and Monterrey should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
