The activity of the Leagues Cup continues with the clash between the Seattle Sounders and the Pumas. This is a round of 16 matchup which means the loser goes home and in case of a tie we'll go straight to a penalty shootout.

The Pumas have become a benchmark in this tournament since there are only six Mexican teams left in the competition. In this matchup, they have a chance to eliminate an American team and reach the quarterfinals, but the task will not be easy, facing a Sounders team which has posed difficulty for them in the past.

For their part, the Sounders are looking to represent the stars and stripes, despite not being a favorite this tournament. While it's true that this Seattle team isn't Inter Miami or LAFC, the reality is that they can silence the haters by eliminating a big-name Mexican team in the Pumas.
