Club America beat Necaxa, set up Christmas day final against Tigres

Goals from William da Silva and Oribe Peralta sent Club America through to the Liga MX final with a 2-0 semifinal second-leg victory over Necaxa.

After returning from the Estadio Victoria with a 1-1 away goal advantage, Ricardo Antonio La Volpe’s men made all of the early running and enjoyed most of the possession in the first half.

Finally, in the second period, Necaxa upped the ante and began to push towards Club America’s final third, though Moises Munoz proved to be a defining factor with a number of key saves.

Las Aguilas’ golden moment came in the 75th minute when Oribe Peralta dragged a long-ball down for Renato Ibarra.
