Puebla faced the uphill battle that was relegation entering the Apertura campaign. Now, the club faces an even steeper climb in the quarterfinals of the Liguilla.
Toluca managed to secure a 2-2 draw away from home in the first leg. A similar result or better will see Los Diablos through to the semifinals thanks to the higher-seed tiebreaker. The two away goals Puebla conceded in the first leg didn't help the club's cause, either.

What They're Saying
Toluca goalkeeper Alfredo Talavera (via Esto): "Puebla have the capacity and the players to go for a result [away from home]. We have to make sure they don't score and escape with a surprise. We have to maintain our shape more than ever. And in the midfield, that block of four that has the ball, the ones that can find our strikers, there has to be balance."
Puebla attacking midfielder Matias Alustiza (via Esto): "[Toluca] have a great team that always looks to play. They're dangerous, but we know that we can overturn this deficit because we can see ourselves winning. Obviously, everything is in their favor. That's why we have to play a complete game."
