Saturday, May 11, Azteca stadium field. The Eagles of America received a visit from Pachuca Tuzosfor the match corresponding to the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Clausura 2024 tournament.
In the first leg, Tuzos and Azulcremas were one on the field of the Hidalgo stadium. The tie on the aggregate score gave América a pass thanks to its position in the general table, so Pachuca took the field forced to win.
Oussama Idrissi put the visitors ahead in the thirty-first minute of the first half. They pulled the strings of the match until they reached the ninety minute. But in compensation time, at ninety-four, to be exact, Julián Quiñones sent it to save, unleashing madness on the Azteca stadium field.
América is in the semifinals, and is shaping up to be one of the main candidates to win the Liga MX and become two-time champion of Mexican soccer. However, among Azulcremas fans more than one is beginning to wonder if certain footballers really deserve to continue wearing this shirt.
What was shown by Chilean central defender Igor Lichnovsky does not seem to match the aspirations of a club that always aspires for the best and does not leave much room for error. In this second leg, against the Tuzos, his mistake cost them the tie.
If Chivas manage to maintain the advantage over the Red Devils of Tolucathere would be a national classic in the semifinals, and Blue Cross would face the winner of the Tigers vs Striped. Yeah Toluca advances, the rival of the azulcremas would precisely come out of the Monterrey classic.
