Club America wins Copa MX final over Juarez

One was enough.

Club America scored just once, a penalty from Emanuel Aguilera, in the final but kept host FC Juarez from finding the back of the net in a 1-0 win that gives America the Copa MX crown.

Second-division side Juarez mounted a strong effort, earning a slight edge in possession and putting more shots on goal than America. There even was a free kick from goalkeeper Ivan Vazquez that nearly found the mark only for Aguilera to leap up from his position on the line and make a headed save.

From there, Miguel Herrera's squad was able to avoid significant danger and add the sixth Copa MX to the trophy case.
