The 2024 Leagues Cup is already underway, and if the first day did not disappoint those who watched the games live at the stadiums or on TV, the second day of activity promises to be even better.
The competition between Liga MX and MLS clubs carries on with an interesting set of seven fixtures, with four of those featuring teams from both leagues. The rest of the matches will see MLS clubs fighting for all the points in the remaining fixtures.
Saturday will be a special day in this edition of the Leagues Cup, as Inter Miami will make their debut as defending champions. The Herons, who will have to play this game without both Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, have prepared to put up a show against Puebla, one Liga MX team that will seek for redemption in this clash following a poor start of the season, where they have only won once in four Liga MX fixtures under former Mexico coach José Manuel de la Torre.
The other game to keep tabs on will be Guadalajara vs SJ Earthquakes, as San Jose's prodigal son, Cade Cowell, will face his former club at Levi's Stadium. This will also be a good chance to see if former LA Galaxy ace Chicharito can increase his tally against the Quakes, having scored four goals in seven matches.
Before we get into the games that have been scheduled for Saturday, let us have a look at the standings after the games that were played on Friday.
