My favorite Super Clasico memory acts more as a reflection than an image or single play. In Clausura 2013, America defeated Chivas 2-0 with a pair of goals from Raul Jimenez. By the end of the first half, the game turned into America’s to win with Chivas losing players to injury and then eventually because of a red card.
More than Jimenez’s inspired game, this game represents the moment where America began to overtake Chivas on the who’s bigger scale. In this same tournament, America beat all three of its major rivals in the regular season, overcame the semifinal hump, and won the title miraculously under a beautiful mix of rain and disappointment from a cursed and crumbled Cruz Azul side.
