Club America booked their place in the semifinals of the 2016 Liga MX Apertura as Oribe Peralta’s second half header earned Las Aguilas a memorable win over rivals Chivas on Sunday.
Ricardo La Volpe’s side went into the second leg needing a win to progress, and faced a tough task away from the Estadio Azteca.
The hosts, though, struggled to break down the hard-working Aguilas, and despite seeing more of the ball, went down on the scoreline early in the second half. Darwin Quintero swiveled a ball in the area from a corner, and Oribe Peralta fired an instant header past Rodolfo Cota to give America the lead.
