Ambriz proving doubters wrong as America moves into semifinals

The Club America manager had a dismal end to 2015 but has bounced back with a season that could end with a double after Sunday's quarterfinal win.

For the second time in as many attempts, Club America manager Ignacio "Nacho" Ambriz has his team in the Liga MX semifinals.

Ambriz didn't outwit Matias Almeyda in America's 2-1 victory Sunday night, with the Chivas manager suspended for the contest. In fact, America got a little luck in the form of a missed penalty by Carlos "Gullit" Pena. The teams were mostly level, as they were in the first leg.
