Barrio MX goalkeeper Brian Morales said, "We had a great victory last week made more valuable now with three goals in our favor. This week we have worked on little details that will help us. Carmelita at home are tough, but even with that we should come back with a favorable result because we have matured greatly as a team and grown strong at handling tough games. We have to aggressive but not cocky with our 3-0 lead. We have to win."

This is the second consecutive season that Barrio México has qualified for the Liga Motorola playoffs.
