America qualified to the Liga MX final for a third straight season after defeating Cruz Azul by a 4-3 score. America and Cruz Azul gave one of the best ever performances in Liga MX history with a exciting match that was filled with Liga MX excitement and craziness. America will now try to be the first team in the “Torneo Cortos” to win three straight Liga MX title but will face a tough Monterrey side that will be hosting the return leg.
The 1st half had America surprising by starting with Jonathan Dos Santos and Richard Sanchez. A cross into the area found a sliding Giorgos Giakoumakis, who sort of got a shot that forced America’s goalkeeper, Luis Malagon to make a save and then clear the ball with some trouble.
