Miguel Borja scores twice to secure 2-2 draw for América in Clásico Nacional
In the Apertura 2026 Liga MX Matchday 9, Club América and Chivas Guadalajara played to a dramatic 2-2 draw in the Clásico Nacional. Chivas initially dominated the first half, taking a 2-0 lead through goals from Bryan González and an own goal by Miguel Vázquez.
Colombian striker Miguel Borja, who entered the match as a substitute, became the hero for América. He scored a spectacular bicycle kick in the 71st minute to reduce the deficit, followed by a second goal just three minutes later to secure the comeback. His first goal has drawn international attention, with many suggesting it is a candidate for the FIFA Puskás Award.
Other Liga MX results from the weekend included a 1-1 draw between Pumas UNAM and Atlas, a 3-1 victory for Atlético de San Luis over Necaxa, and a 1-1 draw between Querétaro and Club León. In the standings, Toluca remains the league leader with 19 points ahead of Chivas and América.
