Player to watch: Maxime Crepeau
Pantemis was the starting goalkeeper for Portland Timbers in the match versus LA Galaxy a couple of days ago. And coach Neville paid a hefty price for leaving out Crepeau. The former LAFC star had a fantastic Copa America run with Canada, and we are sure he will be back among the starters for his club in the Leagues Cup game against Leon.
Second player to watch: Jhonder Cadiz
Cadiz salvaged a point for Club Leon at Estadio Leon in the match against Necaxa last week. He scored a 63rd-minute penalty, thus earning a place among the starters for his club on the 29th of July.
