Liga MX semifinal pitting Pumas and America about balance

The capital club that stays most true to the balance it showed during the regular season will advance to the Liga MX final, writes Jon Arnold.

Some Liga MX teams made the postseason by an all-out commitment to attack, others by adapting a defensive mentality. The marquee semifinal between Pumas and America, who will meet in the first leg Thursday and again in Sunday's second leg for a berth in the Liga MX final, pits two teams who believe in the philosophy of 'All things in moderation.'

America, technically the underdog coming in as the No. 6 seed though the bookmakers don't see it that way, got plenty of attention with its quarterfinal stomping of Leon.
