The Clásico Nacional between Club América and Chivas concluded in a 2-2 draw at Estadio Banorte during Jornada 9 of the Apertura 2026 tournament.

Chivas, managed by Gabriel Milito, controlled the first half, establishing a 2-0 lead. The lead was built through a goal by Bryan González and an own goal by Miguel Vázquez.

Club América, led by Guillermo Almada, staged a second-half comeback led by Colombian striker Miguel Borja, who entered the match as a substitute. Borja scored a “spectacular bicycle kick” in the 71st minute—a strike widely described as a candidate for the FIFA Puskás Award—and added a second goal in the 74th minute to equalize.

The draw prevents América from reaching its milestone of 100 historical wins against Chivas. Following the result, Chivas remains in second place with 18 points, while América sits in third with 17 points, with Toluca continuing to lead the league standings with 19 points.

In post-match developments, Chivas coach Gabriel Milito engaged in a “tense exchange” with a reporter concerning the team’s failure to maintain their lead. Meanwhile, América coach Guillermo Almada noted that while the team showed character, “defensive improvements are necessary for the upcoming playoffs” due to ongoing defensive errors. América continues to contend for top positions despite the absence of defender Kevin Álvarez due to injury.
