Thursday, May 23, Ciudad de los Deportes stadium field, in Mexico City. The Blue Cross Celestial Machine received a visit from Eagles of Americafor the match corresponding to the first leg of the final for the Clausura 2024 tournament.
The first leg match was won by Cruz Azul with a goal from Uriel Antuna just in the ninth minute, who scored neatly from the eleven steps, after Malagón committed a foul inside the area, even saving himself from the yellow card.
However, Julián Quiñones ordered it to be saved just seven minutes later, making the score 1-1 and giving some peace of mind to the Azulcremas fans, who are going to rest somewhat calmly, knowing that everything will be decided at home next Sunday .

As happened in the spring of 2013, when América and Cruz Azul competed in the league tournament, everything will be decided on May 26, on the field of the Azteca stadium. A stage that brings back sweet memories to Azulcremas fans… and no wonder.
Aquivaldo Mosquera’s goal near the end of the game; Moisés Muñoz’s header deflected by a light blue soccer player and total madness at the Coloso de Santa Úrsula. Miguel’s excessive celebration: ‘Piojo’ Herrera, the penalties, Miguel Layún’s definition and the Olympic return that represented title number eleven for an America that today has fourteen stars and dreams of championship number fifteen.
To achieve this, America must win, either in the final ninety minutes or in extra time, since it must be remembered that in the final the away goal no longer counts as a tie-breaking factor. If América and Cruz Azul do not hurt each other either in regulation time or in the aggregate, everything will be defined from the eleven steps.
