It’s by far the most engaging tie in recent Copa MX history. Club America will host rivals Chivas at the Estadio Azteca for a spot in the Copa MX final.
No other cup match has brought out more eager anticipation than this one. Two months after both teams met in the league, the Estadio Azteca will once again be witness to biggest game in Mexican fútbol.
For las Aguilas, the wounds are still fresh from their 3-0 thumping from August. That performance was humiliating from an America point of view and was the catalyst that led to a change in manager, with Ricardo Antonio La Volpe taking Ignacio Ambriz’s place on the azulcrema bench.
