Those led by André Jardine finished the tournament as absolute leaders of the general table, while the Hidalgo team finished as eighth, since they lost the first key of the play-in and qualified until the second opportunity, leaving the Hidrorayos of the team on the way. Necaxa.
With tonight’s result, it is enough for the Águilas del América not to lose to advance to the next round, since for several tournaments the away goal has not been a tie-breaking criterion in Mexican soccer.
The azulcremas do not have a good time when they face the Tuzos in a league. Only on one occasion have they been able to leave them out of the big party, however they have three eliminations and one in CONCACAF, which in fact is the most recent.
