Extra time or direct penalties? This will happen if América and Cruz Azul tie in the second leg final

This Sunday, May 26, the 2024 Clausura Tournament comes to an end with the final back at the Azteca Stadium at 7:00 p.m. and to lift the championship, Club América and the Cruz Azul Football Club will have to win the match in the 90 minutes in regulation or in extra time, since any tie will maintain equality in the overall score, which was 1-1 in the first leg.

This is because the away goal and the advantage due to the best position in the classification does not interfere in the tiebreaker, so if the tie persists, the champion will be determined in the penalty shootout.

“If at the end of regulation time the game is tied, two extra periods of 15 minutes each will be added. If the tie persists once the two extra times have been completed, penalty kicks will be taken until a winner is found,” as established by the Liga MX regulations.
