Liga MX Clausura Week 5: América back in the winning column, Chivas struggle once again

Here are your five conclusions from the fifth week of play in the 2019 Liga MX Clausura.

Club América return to winning ways

Anyone wondering if back-to-back losses in Liga MX and Copa MX were going to send Club América in a tailspin were left disappointed when on Saturday Las Águilas returned to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Querétaro. It was certainly an improvement on prior defeats to Monterrey and San Luis, but against an opponent of Querétaros standard, a win was always likely.

Gallos Blancos did put up a fight, however, and it wasn’t until the final minutes of the match that América put the game away with a Roger Martinez penalty.
