The Águilas del América and Cruz Azul compete for the Clausura 2024 title. The first leg was very even and ended 1-1. However, Miguel Herrera believes that the Cementero team should have been eliminated in the semifinals of the tournament.
Cruz Azul, directed by Martín Anselmi, has had a very good season. Against all odds, LMachine is in the final stage of the Liga MX. But for “Piojo” the cement team should have already been eliminated due to the quality of its rivals in the past series.
“If we are honest, Cruz Azul should not be in the Final. Monterrey should have scored two or three more goals against them in the Return match. Although America has not had a good Liguilla either,” said Miguel Herrera in an interview with Claro Sports.
“Anselmi makes a lot of changes, and he has not achieved that harmony with the starting players. But America is also saved from being eliminated, both have the possibility of lifting the title.”
