They faced Santos Laguna in the previous round of the tournament playing out a 1-1 draw in normal time, with Luca Orellano scoring a stunning goal to level the scores in the first half before converting a spot-kick in the penalty shootout to help secure progress for the Garys.

Philadelphia Union, meanwhile, faced Montreal in the round of 16 of the competition on Friday, with Tai Baribo opening the scoring from close range in the first half before doubling his goal tally and his side's advantage late in the game.

The visitors faced New York Red Bulls at this stage of the Leagues Cup last season, winning the game on penalties and will hope they can find similar luck here as well.
