America closes the year with four defeats for the first time in a decade

The first time in the decade that America nearly met this mark was in 2011, when they lost three games and drew one more.

MEXICO — America had its worst streak at the end of a year in the last decade. From 2010 to date, Eagles They did not close a calendar year with four defeats, a situation that occurred in 2020 with the setbacks in the Concacaf Champions League and in Liga MX.

The wards of Miguel Herrera they couldn’t beat the LAFC of the MLS in the semifinals of the international tournament in the area, because after having a goal advantage on the scoreboard and one more element, the Los Angeles team turned them around and won 3-1 to reach their first final in that tournament .

In addition, to this defeat was added the one they had in the middle of the week against Atlanta United, also in the Concacaf Champions League, which was in the second leg 1-0 after the first leg was won by the Mexicans 3-0.

Meanwhile, the other two setbacks were in Liga MX. Both in the quarterfinals against Chivas. In the first leg they lost 1-0 in Guadalajara, while in the second leg, at the Azteca Stadium, they missed the opportunity to advance to the round by succumbing 1-2.

In the last decade, Eagles They had not suffered something of this caliber with negative comments from their fans, which demanded the resignations of Miguel Herrera, the club’s technical director, and Santiago Baños, the sports director of the Coapa institution.

The first time in the decade they nearly met this mark was in 2011, when they lost three games and drew one more. This was almost repeated in 2014, when they also succumbed in three games, but won one.

Finally, in 2016 they again had a bad closing of the year, as they lost three matches and tied one.

America signed off from the Liga MX and the Concacaf Champions League to sign a year for oblivion where those from Coapa could not obtain either of the two titles they disputed.
