Cruz Azul defeats Club América in Clásico Joven

Cruz Azul defeated Club América in the ‘Clásico Joven’ at the Estadio Azteca. While the match ended in a 4-3 victory for Cruz Azul, the game was highly competitive, with América attempting a late comeback.

Following the loss, América manager Guillermo Almada noted that his team was outplayed from the beginning, citing defensive errors and lack of concentration as key factors. In contrast, América owner Emilio Azcárraga offered a different perspective, suggesting that Cruz Azul ‘se salvó’ (saved themselves) despite the result.

América is now preparing for the ‘Clásico Nacional’ against Chivas. Manager Almada is considering integrating three recent signings—Carlos Álvarez, Santiago Ramos Mingo, and Santiago Bueno—to strengthen the squad and address defensive vulnerabilities ahead of the upcoming match.
