Blue Cross, team that is undefeated in their last 19 matches , wait for Monterrey. On the day 11 of the Guard1anes tournament 2021 beat him by a score of 1-0, with a goal from Roberto Alvarado. Months before, in 1200, it was Monterrey who ended up smiling after winning with a goal from Rogelio Funes Mori.

The semifinal promises. Both could meet another Mexican rival in the final, if America finally manages to eliminate Portland Timbers.
