Club Pachuca will make their debut in the 2023 Leagues Cup on Wednesday, August 2, when they face Houston Dynamo at the Shell Energy Stadium in the Round of 32.
Houston Dynamo has the task of improving their game since they reached the Round of 32 with two draws against Orlando City and Club Santos Laguna in the group stage (both matches went to penalties, and they won against Santos but lost to Orlando). They have had some successes but also made mistakes in both attack and defense.
Club Pachuca will only just now be making their debut in the tournament. A reminder that they did not play in the group stage as a reward for being champions of the Apertura 2022 tournament. This season has not started well for them, as they have not managed to secure a victory in 3 LIGA MX matches. They can turn this situation around in the Leagues Cup.
This match has garnered attention due to the reunion between Héctor Herrera and his boyhood club.
