 Jaime Lozano explains that he was not surprised by the level of Antuna and Martin, especially because of the weight they had in the match against Haiti."The truth is that for me they are all solid and that's why they are in the national team. Henry finished as goal scoring champion for a reason and he is one of the few Mexican center forwards who have been with América for so long and Uriel, in my experience, if you give him clarity, he can play these types of games," Lozano explained. "Sometimes, when you are not given that clarity, you end up not deciding at all well, but (Uriel) has impressive conditions. We try to give him clarity where he feels comfortable (and tell him), 'Uriel, don't cut back so much, get the ball out and throw in a cross.'

This will be the first meeting between the two teams, so they will want to get off to a good start and come away with a win.
