The draw will be on December 10th. Each group winner will get drawn against a second place team. Teams from the same group cannot face each other in the quarterfinals but teams from the same country can.
So Cruz Azul have blown it by not securing 1st place in their group. If they happen to go through as a 2nd place team, they will face another Mexican team in the quarterfinals.
Atlante can be facing Cruz Azul(1), Dynamo*, Islanders. Santos can be facing Cruz Azul(1),Dynamo*, Montreal U.N.AM can be facing Islanders, Montreal, Cruz Azul(1) Marathon can be facing Islanders, Montreal, Dynamo*. (1) thats if marathon beats saprissa and cruz advances. * thats if Dynamo beat firpo.
Atlante can be facing Cruz Azul, Dynamo*, Islanders. Santos can be facing Cruz Azul,Dynamo*, Montreal U.N.AM can be facing Islanders, Montreal, Cruz Azul Marathon can be facing Islanders, Montreal, Dynamo*. * thats if Dynamo beat firpo.
Not quite unless Marathon plays to lose. Simply put, Cruz Azul did what was necessary (the bare minimum) to get into the next round.
