Club América get big win over Monarcas, set up Liga MX Final versus Monterrey

First half goals from Renato Ibarra and Federico Viñas earned Club América a place in the 2019 Liga MX Apertura Final after beating Monarcas Morelia 2-0 at the Estadio Azteca on Sunday.

After falling 2-0 in the First Leg, Miguel Herrera’s men needed to start this game all guns blazing, and that’s exactly what they did when las Águilas had a penalty shout in the opening seconds of the match through Henry Martin.

Martin then came close again before Renato Ibarra gave a warning of what was to come when Gabriel Achilier had to come to Monarcas Morelia’s rescue in the 24th minute.
