In the second game, Herediano (Costa Rica) welcomes 2010-11 runner-up Real Salt Lake (USA) to the Estadio Nacional in San Jose.
On Wednesday, Aguila (El Salvador) travels north to make its tournament debut against Toronto FC (Canada), while visiting Tigres UANL (Mexico) takes on Real Esteli (Nicaragua) and Isidro Metapan (El Salvador) entertains the Puerto Rico Islanders (Puerto Rico) in a rematch of last year’s preliminary round pairing.
