Cruz Azul get a last minute Clasico Joven win over struggling America

Cruz Azul got a goal in injury time to get a 2-1 win over Club America in the Clasico Joven. A double defensive mistake gave Cruz Azul a penalty kick in injury time, giving a big boost to Cruz Azul’s opportunities to repeat as Liga MX champion. Club America, who have guaranteed first place in the regular season, adds to a terrible stretch just before the Liguilla starts, having lost the CONCACAF Champions League Final against Monterrey earlier in the week and now the Clasico Joven. Cruz Azul will close out their season first with a match against Leon and then a tough match against their other city rivals in Pumas, while Club America closes out with a revenge matchup against Monterrey after Thursday’s CCL Final.
