Club America had a comfortable victory against Atletico de San Luis in the first leg of the quarterfinals with a score of 3-1. History shows that once the Azulcremas have taken a 3-1 first leg lead, they have managed to advance to the next stage on seven out of eight occasions. However, things took a bad turn on the second leg of the quarterfinals when Atletico de San Luis defeated America by two goals, leading many to wonder whether the team will be able to keep up in the remaining games.
Following America's loss, coach Fernando Ortiz called out Miguel Layun for his poor performance. Although Layun renewed his contract for another season with Club America, it is doubtful whether he will continue to play for the team due to his vulnerable actions in recent games. America will now have to assess their options and look for a new player to fill this weak spot in their defensive line.
In the Liga MX quarterfinals, America will be facing Atletico de San Luis. Meanwhile, Tigres will play against Toluca, in the hope to make it to the semi-finals. With the most significant upsets that occurred during the wildcard weekend, it remains to be seen which teams will make it to the final.
