WATCH: Cruz Azul Misses Late Chance, Draws With Club America in First Leg of Apertura Final

Mexico City rivals Club America and Cruz Azul battled to a scrappy 0-0 draw Thursday in the first leg of the Liga MX Apertura final in Estadio Azteca.

The game was light on true scoring chances but was almost decided in stoppage time as Cruz Azul's Edgar Mendez found himself one on one with America goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin but he blasted his shot against the underside of the crossbar, allowing a grateful Marchesin to calmly collect the rebound.
