Toluca - FAS

CONCACAF Champions League

I never thought I'd see something like this: a Mexican team having to fight in the last match-day for it's qualification, in a group with Olimpia, Islanders and Fas. But it's real, as Toluca need a win or they're off. They have a much better situation than their rivals, as Olimpia and the Islanders will see eye to eye in a 'winner takes all' match, because the loser will 99% go home, as I think it's impossible for Toluca to lose. Let's go back to the Mexicans: 3 points tonight and they qualify for the quarters, regardless of other results, that's why newly chosen national team manager, de la Torre, will use a very offensive line-up, in an attempt to make a clear statement, and win the match since it's early stages. The altitude should also come to their aid, but they will most certainly try to take advantage of some internal problems amongst the Salvadoran ranks. FAS is in a very poor form, in the Champions League as well as in their local league, so morale isn't too good at all, especially with the players and the directors arguing over the lack of payment in the last few months. Toluca already won at home 4-0 against Olimpia, and 3-0 against the Islanders, so I can only wonder what the score will be against the poorest team in the league, in a match they are obliged to win. Expect a flowing score. GL!
