#### Notes

* Note 1: Olmpia v Toluca originally was scheduled to be played at Estadio Tiburcio Carías Andino in Tegucigalpa. But officials were forced to move the match to Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula when high winds toppled advertising boards and a cement wall ringing the top of the stadium, sending debris to the street below onto cars and killing a taxi driver.
