After a difficult start to the game and a forgettable first half, America made changes in the second half that paid off. They went from being down early in the game to taking back control and defeating Necaxa 1-2 on the road. With this win, America have made team history with nine consecutive wins and remain atop the table due to goal differential. Necaxa, on the other hand, now await the results of the remaining games this weekend to see if they still have a playoff spot or not.
With a playoff spot already secured, Fernando ‘Tano’ Ortiz decided to rest some of his players.
