Preview: Toronto FC’s CCL journey continues against Mexican giants Cruz Azul

TORONTO, Canada—After dispatching Club León in the first knockout round, Toronto FC will now face the current Liga MX leaders Cruz Azul in the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League quarter-finals.

TFC are the “hosts” in the first leg and will play this game at a location in Florida still to be determined. Kickoff is set for 10:00 pm EST on Tuesday, April 27, with OneSoccer airing this match along with all the other CCL quarter-final ties.

In the previous round, a 3-2 win on aggregate over León was enough for the 2018 runners-up to book their spot in the last eight, a result that many did not see coming given the number of TFC senior players that were ruled out due to injury.
