America defeated Cruz Azul for the second time this season and eliminated them from the Copa MX with a 1-0 win. The win was marred by controversy as the game changed when Christian “Chaco” Gimenez got a red card in a play that looked like it could've been a yellow card instead. The play basically killed Cruz Azul, who suffered being a man down in the second half after looking like a composed side in the first. America didn't look superior until being a man up and took the lead with a Pablo Aguilar header. America will face Queretaro in the Quarterfinals.
