América crowned Clausura 2024 champions after defeating Cruz Azul

Club América have won ‘la 15’ and become bicampeón after defeating Cruz Azul at the Azteca on a rainy Sunday night. A controversial penalty call in the 70th minute all but sealed the fate of La Máquina who overall looked better than the Águilas, but ultimately the referee confirmed his decision and Henry Martin converted the goal that gave the Águilas the win.

The action started pretty quickly as América were awarded a free kick after a foul on Henry Martin as he got a cleat to his face. The subsequent free kick went straight to the hands of Mier.
