Pressure on Club America, Pumas after hot starts cool

It was short, but it wasn't sweet. Miguel Herrera sat down for his post-match news conference after America's 2-0 loss to Leon on Wednesday and stood right back up, saying only "We played a bad match. Good night."

The mood around Club America has shifted. The mood in Mexico City has shifted as well. This weekend America hosts crosstown rival Pumas with both teams in a cold snap after hot starts. The pressure is on for the capital clubs, and it's intensified by the fact that the third team in the city, Cruz Azul, currently sits atop the table with an undefeated record.
