As far as the Quarterfinals go, this is arguably the biggest tie of the round as Club América and Cruz Azul renew their rivalry at the Estadio Azteca.
After losing last season’s Liga MX Final to Las Águilas, Cruz Azul are now provided with a genuine opportunity at getting some small revenge over their Mexico City rivals. But while La Máquina finished the regular season in better form, Club América has always been a pebble in La Máquina’s shoe. In fact, Cruz Azul haven’t been able to beat Las Águilas in 14 straight Liga MX matches.
América arrive to this match with one trophy already in their hands after winning the Copa MX title earlier in the year.
