How to watch Philadelphia Union vs. Cruz Azul in Leagues Cup: With and without cable
The Philadelphia Union had a great start to their Leagues Cup campaign as they beat Charlotte 1-0 thanks to a goal from Tai Baribo. The Israeli international has now scored seven goals in 12 games in all competitions this season.
Unfortunately, Cruz Azul did not have the best of starts to this year's Leagues Cup as they lost to Charlotte on penalties. The Liga MX side needs to get a result against the Union this week if they are to progress in the tournament.
Cruz Azul's roster includes former Atlanta United forward Giorgos Giakoumakis. The Greek international was prolific in MLS for Atlanta. He has also already scored twice and made an assist in three Liga MX games for Cruz Azul.
