Club America’s hopes of making the Liguilla took a huge hit as las Aguilas were stunned at the Estadio Azteca, losing 2-1 to Atlas.
This was a game Club America needed at least a point from to qualify to the Liguilla, but Leiton Jimenez’s fourth minute header made it tough for Ricardo La Volpe’s side, who came into this game unbeaten and without receiving a single goal at home this season.
Club America’s nightmare start continued when Matias Alustiza found himself with space outside the box to fire in the 2-0.
Atlas were guilty of losing momentum after scoring a second, and the second half became a frantic affair, with Club America mounting forward in search of a goal.
