Broadcast info
Who's playing? Cruz Azul will host Pumas during Week 2 of the Apertura 2016 tournament in Liga MX. The hosts weren't able to beat recently promoted side Necaxa last week, while Pumas defeated Guadalajara thanks to an own goal. Being two of the most popular sides in Mexico's top flight, these teams are expected to provide some quality entertainment for their supporters.
What time? 16:00 PDT/ 17:00 CDT/ 18:00 EDT/ 22:00 GMT/ 23:00 BST/ 00:00 CEST (Sunday)
What stadium? Estadio Azul will be the venue hosting this match, just like every other game Cruz Azul has played as host in the past 20 years. A sellout is expected for this game, although the stadium's administration may choose not to sell all of the 35,000 seats available for security reasons, given that this is a high-profile game in Mexico City.
