Club America vs. Colorado Rapids: How to watch Leagues Cup, TV channel, live stream

The defending Liga MX champions are one of just two Mexican sides remaining in the competition

Club América and the Colorado Rapids are set for an inter-league matchup on Saturday in the Leagues Cup quarterfinal.

It’s been a disastrous Leagues Cup for Liga MX, which has placed just two teams in the quarterfinal. But with back-to-back league champion América one of them, the Mexican top flight still has a solid chance of taking home the title.

Along with the Columbus Crew, América was one of just two teams who didn’t participate in the group stage and earned a bye directly to the knockout stage.

The Liga MX champion defeated Atlas 2-1 in the round of 32, before getting past St. Louis City 4-2 in the round of 16 on Tuesday night.

Cowell makes it three in a row with banger in Chivas victory

The 20-year-old is hitting his stride in his second tournament for the Liga MX club

Cade Cowell continues to level up in his second tournament with Chivas.

The American forward scored for the third straight game on Saturday, netting a sensational goal to give Chivas the lead in a 2-0 win over Mazatlán.

Cowell showcased a deadly combination of skill, composure and power, making a run into the box and juking past two defenders before burying a shot into the top corner.

After joining Chivas from the San Jose Earthquakes in January, Cowell scored one goal in the Clausura and three in the Concacaf Champions Cup for a respectable first campaign.

But with only four games down in the Apertura, the 20-year-old already has three goals and an assist for the Guadalajara club. Just as importantly, Cowell has started all four matches after making only seven league starts out of 17 in the Clausura.

After Saturday’s match, Cowell’s coach Fernando Gago was full of praise for a man who has been his side’s best attacking player early in the campaign.

“[Cowell] completed the preseason in a very good way,” Gago said in the post-game press conference. “The conditions he has, in one-on-one duels, are natural. From his speed, his power, understanding situations of when he has to attack and when not to.

“We are working on aspects so that he has more space to play and receive in certain circumstances. He is at a very good level and we will work to ensure that he continues to do so.”

FC Juarez vs. Club America: How to watch, TV channel, streaming

The defending champions look to right the ship in a difficult away match

Club América travels to face FC Juárez on Saturday night as it looks to overcome some early-season struggles.

América is aiming for three straight titles after clinching the Clausura in May with a win over Cruz Azul in the final.

But Las Aguilas have started their title defense off with two defeats from three games, losing 1-0 at Tigres in midweek to fall to 13th place in the table.

Juárez has not fared any better than its opponent on Saturday, losing twice and drawing once in its opening three games. A midweek home defeat to Pumas made it two defeats in a row for Maurício Barbieri’s side.

These two sides met last month in a friendly, drawing 1-1 in a match played at the Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, Texas.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

USMNT forward Cowell scores in second straight game for Chivas

The 20-year-old appears to be leveling up in his second tournament with Chivas

Cade Cowell continued his hot start to the Apertura on Tuesday, scoring in a 2-0 Chivas win at Querétaro.

It was the second straight game with a goal for Cowell, who has already surpassed his total of one goal in the Clausura.

The 20-year-old looks to be leveling up in his second tournament with Chivas, having scored an excellent solo goal last weekend in the club’s 4-2 defeat to Tijuana. He also added an assist in the loss at Xolos.

On Tuesday, Cowell got on the end of a cross from Javier “Chicharito” Hernández to put his side in front in the 21st minute. Chivas would later add another goal to secure its first win of the Apertura campaign.

Cowell joined Chivas in January from the San Jose Earthquakes, becoming the first active U.S. men’s national team player to represent the Guadalajara-based side.

In his first season with Chivas, Cowell scored one goal in the league while adding three more in Concacaf Champions Cup play.

The California native looks to be taking a more prominent role for Chivas in the Apertura, starting all three of his side’s games thus far after starting seven out of 17 in the Clausura.
