With the group already won with a round of fixtures still to play, the Blues still gave it their all in an 8-1 rout of Club America of Mexico later that day.

Drawn against CD Verdeluz in the last 32 as the knockout rounds began, they produced another emphatic scoreline - defeating the Spaniards 14-0 early on Thursday.
