The team from La Noria is the leader of the competition and in its last match it achieved victory against Querétaro (0-2), so it arrives in high spirits to face its bitter rival.
Cruz Azul vs. America: Schedule and where to watch the Youth Classic
The match will take place at the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium, which is the home stadium of both Cruz Azul and América, this Saturday, August 31.
However, the administrative venue for this occasion will be the La Noria team, so the Águilas will be ‘visitors’ for the first time in this stadium this season.
La Máquina was very close to being Liga MX champions in the 2024 Clausura, but lost the second leg of the Final against América with a controversial penalty by Carlos Rotondi on Israel Reyes that was called by Henry Martín to give the azulcremas the second championship.
Anselmi’s Cruz Azul is the team that has played the best football this year, but inside the club they know that that matters little if it is not reflected in a championship.
A win against the Eagles would be an important boost of confidence on the road to achieving the tenth.
