Time: 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

Series: First meeting.

Probable goaltenders: Fire, Paulo Tornaghi or Jay Nolly; Santos Laguna, Oswaldo Sanchez or Miguel Becerra.

Storyline: The four-time Mexican Primera Division champs are led by captain Sanchez, a three-time World Cup goalie. Laguna recently beat Monterey 3-2 on aggregate to capture the 2012 Clausura tournament and placed second in the 2011-12 CONCACAF Champions League. It’s the second straight year the Fire have hosted a Mexican club in a Toyota Park friendly. Last September, Chivas de Guadalajara beat the Fire 1-0 on a 61st-minute goal by Jorge Mora.
