The final game in the group stage for the Concacaf Champions
League is scheduled for October 20th. The LA Galaxy are set to play C.D. Motagua. The galaxy’s opponents have lost all of
their matches in the group stage.
Motagua is not expected to head into the game with high energy or morale.
LA will have the odds on their side and they certainly will
play with force and vigor. Barring
any injuries, Galaxy are looking to play with their full line-up, no players
will be suspended from the match. Galaxy’s
fate is in their hands.
Morelia and Alajuelense, the other two teams in the group,
play 2 days prior to LA’s match. A
win for Morelia will create a 3-way tie in points between LA, Morelia and
Alajuelense. The winners of the
group are then determined by goal differential. In other words, the two teams with best ratio of goals
scored to goals allowed are moving on.
Fortunately, LA has done well enough in the tournament to ensure they
will be on top in the event that a tie in points occurs.
After all the ups and downs of the tournament, bad calls and
all, Galaxy have almost fought their way out of group stages. The LA Galaxy can certainly be the team
to give the MLS a better standing by going all the way in the tournament.
