Seven matches into the season and with just seven points, Club America find themselves near the bottom of the standings. Entering this Saturday night’s Clasico Joven at the Estadio Azteca, one point separates Club America from rivals Cruz Azul, as both teams find themselves in similar situations and with coaches facing a possible firing.
Last week, America lost to their archrival Chivas in a dragging 1-0 defeat. Throughout the entire match, las Aguilas showed the ineffectiveness on offense, recording zero shots on goal. In fact, no player on their roster has yet to break the three-goal mark. While Cecilio Dominguez appeared ready to boost the anemic offense by scoring two goals in his first three matches, a shoulder injury kept him out of last week’s match.
