LAFC travel to Puebla, Mexico, for the second leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals.

Despite holding a three-goal advantage, head coach Marc Dos Santos remains wary of the threat posed by Cruz Azul, a club that has won seven titles and holds the record for the most matches played in the competition’s history.

“You didn’t see any wild celebrations because we know that this is only halftime,” he said after the first-leg victory.
