What They're Saying
America manager Ignacio Ambriz (via Informador): "It's important [to beat Atlas], but it's also important that we play better, that we have a better game. We need to be organized and play with more intensity and that's how we can win the game against Atlas."
Atlas manager Gustavo Matosas (via ESPN FC): "It won't be an easy game for us, but we're going out there with a winning mentality. In soccer, you can't keep remembering wins and losses because it's a weekly job. On Saturday, I expect an open game with lots of goals."
