The matches were defined by the repechage towards the league of the Apertura 2021 tournament, from where the rival of the Eagles of America will come out, a team that was the best in the tournament and therefore the overall leader of the competition.
This opens a really wide panorama for America to meet their next opponent in the quarterfinals, since have the possibility of up to 5 rivals, highlighting that 3 of them could be historical rivals, so we would have a classic in the quarterfinals of this league.
If logic prevails in the repechage, those who advance in it would be those who are positioned from number 5 to 8 and, if this happens, the rival of the Eagles of America would be the Cruz Azul Cement Machine, having one more edition of the so-called Young Classic of Mexican soccer.
For there to be a National Classic in the quarterfinals, Chivas would have to advance and for Rayados to beat Cruz Azul, in addition, that Cougars and Atlético de San Luis cannot advance either, thus once again having the Clásico de Clásicos in the quarterfinals.
If the rival is the Pumas de la UNAM, the university team would have to defeat Toluca and for Atlético de San Luis to fall to Santos Laguna. On the other hand, there are the cases of San Luis and Rayados, since if the potosino team advances automatically, it becomes the rival of America, but in case Santos, Toluca, Puebla and Rayados are the ones who advance, the rival of the azulcrema team would be once again Monterrey, with whom they have had bad experiences in recent games.
So America will have to wait for a rival and has up to 5 options to meet him, being the general leader of the competition and for many the favorite to take the league title.
