Liga MX Clausura Week 17: Club América and Cruz Azul to meet again in the Liguilla

Here are your five conclusions from the last week of play in the 2019 Liga MX Clausura regular season.

It was a lot tougher than most initially anticipated, but on Friday, Club América bid farewell to Veracruz’s time in Liga MX with a 2-0 win over the Tiburones Rojos. The defending champion’s favoritism has taken a hit during the last few weeks, but as ever, las Águilas will go into the Liguilla as one of the top candidates to win the trophy.

That said, while it is true that there is no such thing as managing expectations when you are a big team like América, there is no doubt that Aguilas fans will be holding their breathe for news on the injured Edson Alvarez.
