Club Leon fired the first salvo in this year’s competition, thumping Sporting Kansas City by a 6-1 scoreline at Children’s Mercy Park last Tuesday.
Led by an Omar Fernandez brace, Leon raced out to a 3-0 halftime lead. Cam Duke pulled SKC back a goal just past the hour mark, but Angel Mena responded a minute later to squash the youthful hosts' hopes.
Pumas needed penalty kicks to oust New York City FC in the wee hours of Thursday morning at Yankee Stadium. The teams were deadlocked at 1-1 after 90 minutes in a match that was delayed nearly three hours due to severe weather.
