América defeat Juárez to earn direct spot in the liguilla

América were able to close out the regular season with a 1-0 win against Juárez to secure a spot in the liguilla. On the other hand, Bravos sit in 16th place which could possibly turn into 17th depending on other results from this weekend. With this standing, they’ll have to pay a relegation fine that is yet to be determined, while the Águilas will get an extra week of rest as they await their opponent.

The first few minutes of the game showed a determined Juárez who wanted to win the game, but América eventually adjusted and the border city team had no choice but to sit back and wait to attack on the counter.
