The Eagles advance to the Liga MX semifinals! They beat Pachuca 2-0 in the second leg of the 2025 Clausura quarterfinals.

They went all out on the pitch! We're getting closer to knowing the teams that will advance to the semifinals of the 2025 Clausura Tournament . This Saturday, Toluca defeated Monterrey , as did América, the Liga MX champion who is already a semifinalist after defeating Pachuca.

This match was one of the most anticipated, especially because the first leg between Tuzos and América ended 0-0 , so both Liga MX teams left everything for the second leg on May 10, where André Jardine's América took advantage of their home advantage.

For the capital team, this is the seventh consecutive time they have reached this stage, and with this victory they shook off Pachuca's dominance in their individual duels in the Liguillas, where the Tuzos dominate the overall standings with five series won to three by the Azulcremas, including this victory.

América player Alejandro Zendejas scored a double during the first half hour to lead América to a 2-0 victory over Pachuca , which placed the Mexican champion in the semifinals of the Clausura tournament in search of a fourth championship (like Max Verstappen in F1) .

Zendejas opened the scoring after Víctor Dávila set him up on a quick counterattack, which he sealed when he reached the area on the left flank in the 16th minute .

The American winger scored his second goal in the 28th minute after a powerful, sweeping shot that went into the net after hitting the base of the post.

Pachuca's Bryan González came close to opening the scoring for the visitors when he hit the crossbar a couple of minutes before falling behind.

Rodrigo Aguirre missed the opportunity to make the Azulcrema victory more comfortable with a penalty kick, which hit the crossbar in the second minute of stoppage time and signaled the end of the match.

The first leg was filled with intense excitement, as even a VAR review saved Los Tuzos from being reduced to 10 men; and a save from Brazilian Bauermann proved vital in preventing América from taking a significant lead.

Now they'll face each other again this Saturday, May 10, when these teams return. Below are all the details.

• Match: Pachuca vs. América
• Date: Saturday, May 10, 2025
• Time: 9:10 PM (Central Mexico Time)
• Stadium: City of Sports

Although the first match ended without much fanfare, Pachuca, who qualified for the 2025 Club World Cup , is expected to give its all on the field in search of a spot in the semifinals of this exciting tournament that is now drawing to a close.

The tiebreaker is vital for Pachuca, as otherwise, with a 0-0 score, the 'Águilas' will secure a spot in the final, given that they are in second place in the Liga MX standings, having accumulated 34 points.

However, Club de Fútbol América may be able to take off, as Diego Valdés, the Chilean footballer and one of its star players, is expected to return to the field after his absence in the last match.
