Scoring the opening goal in the match and the eventual game-winner, left winger Brian Rodriguez had a brilliant display against St. Louis. The 24-year-old Uruguayan international finally scored for his side for the first time since April. Since coming over from Los Angeles FC, Rodriguez has appeared in 67 games with Las Aguilas registering 13 goals.
Making an impact on the stat sheet for Club America, midfielder Diego Valdes helped carry the squad to success on Tuesday. The 30-year-old amassed a goal and an assist in 89 minutes of work. The Chilean international has dawned the Las Aguilas kit on 106 instances, where he has hit the back of the net with 37 goals in all competitions played.
It was a collective team effort vanquishing Toluca but Zack Steffen was arguably the man of the match in Tuesday's battle. The 29-year-old made five total saves while only conceding one goal. His save percentage is a mediocre 71.4 percent in the Leagues Cup, but his timely saves have helped the Rapids succeed thus far. In 26 MLS games this year, the American international has stockpiled five clean sheets.
Rafael Navarro has suddenly found his form after cooling off from a scorching start to his MLS campaign. The 24-year-old has penned his name on the stat sheet in three consecutive Leagues Cup matches adding two goals and an assist. Through 26 matches played in 2024, the Brazilian has hauled in 11 goals.
Games aren’t won on paper but comparing the Liga MX giant's roster versus the Colorado Rapids, Club America are the far superior side. Though this is a home game way from home for Las Aguilas, they are still cataloged as the resident team and they are currently unbeaten in their last 12 playing as the local heroes. Playing a huge factor for Club America rolling into this final eight showdown, they are the better-rested side versus Colorado, the Rapids have had to play two extra games in a compressed tournament schedule. We should see Club America get past the Rapids who have lost eight times in 15 road games in all competitions in 2024.
