The Eagles of America They surpassed the Tigres de la U. de Nuevo León, in the most recent Concacaf (Northern, Central American and Caribbean Football Confederation) classification, but they are still behind the Columbus Crew of the MLS (Major League Soccer) who continues as the great patron of the area.

The feline squad appeared in second place at the beginning of September after having concluded the Leagues Cup, in second place with 1233 points, followed by América with 1232, but in the most recent table published on the 23rd of this month, the Eagles already surpassed the northern cats with 1234 points.

Although it is true that The Columbus Crew continues to dominate with 1258 points the area’s classification, its numbers decreased compared to the beginning of the month where it registered 1,260, but the reality is that the MLS teams from first to twentieth place occupy eleven seats compared to nine for the Aztec squads.

It must be taken into account that in the Concacaf classification It is based on the results of the teams in their respective leagues, as well as in international competitions, endorsed by this football organization and is where América was able to recover some of the lost ground.

It should be noted that this classification did not take into account the recent América triumphs on penalties 5-4 over the Columbus Crew in the Champions Cup, because it had no official involvement, but only served as a media and economic generation.
