Final in Jalisco

Remove the Angel and put Malagón in!
An unbeatable cross into the box, which Cóccaro finished superbly, allowing Malagón to save once again. The number 7 is stunned by the opposing goalkeeper's actions.
The Eagles' fourth goal is disallowed
A major collective action that Diego Valdés ultimately sent to the bottom. The inappropriate position was immediately determined.
Cóccaro reprimanded
Israel Reyes clears a cross into the box, which is then collided by Matías Cóccaro. The number 7 earns a caution for the awkward play.

11 minutes of added time are indicated in this second half.

The "hero" leaves
#27 Rodrigo Aguirre left the field, in his place #24 Javairo Dilrosun came on.
Aguirre missed it!
Sánchez's classic counterattack opens for Aguirre. The 'Buffalo' didn't control the ball well and let his hat trick slip away.
Atlas does not give up
The Foxes are persistently pushing forward. The mood isn't that the match is over.
Malagón again!
Jeremy unleashed a powerful long-range shot that the 'Lord of the Night' flew to deflect.
Malagooooooooooooon
The Michoacan goalkeeper, with a feline reaction to a hand, denies the goal to Hugo Nervo.
Triple change 'Azulcrema'

Alejandro Zendejas exits #17, Víctor Dávila enters #11
#8 Álvaro Fidalgo leaves, #10 Diego Valdés enters
Gooooooooool from Americaaaaaaa
A combed ball at the near post extends right to the 'Buffalo's' location, who scores his double.
González admonished
Diego González, the person who committed the offense, is being warned.
All Atlas claims
A foul on Kevin Álvarez angered the entire Red and Black team. They were asking for a fair tackle.
América is taking its time. They don't want the mood to get too bad for the Red-and-Blacks of Atlas.
Jardine immediately modifies
#7 Brian Rodríguez leaves the field, in his place #26 Cristian Borja enters.
Goal from Atlaaaaaaaas
A spectacular goal from Uros Djurdjevic, firing a shot from far away into the top left corner. The game is on.
Pineda moves
#185 Víctor Ríos leaves the field of play, in his place #7 Matías Cóccaro enters
Hard blow to Ríos
Rodrigo Aguirre collided with the 'Rojinegro' defender and the latter was left in a very bad position after the impact.
They seek a prompt response
Atlas tries to shake off the pair of blows and maintains its offensive approach. The 'Azulcrema' defense continues to suffer.
Kevin falls inside the penalty area and complains of a blow. The referee called a foul on him.
Gooooooooooooaal from Américaaaaaa
Second blow. 'Chicote' Calderón breaks lines to enter the box, receives the ball, and finishes quickly. América is on its way to the lead.
The captain painted
Aldo Rocha brings down Erick Sánchez, who was heading into a good counterattack. This is the first booking for the home side.
Gooooooooooooaaal from Américaaaaaaaa
The situation changed so quickly with a precise play in which Aguirre dispatched Vargas inside the six-yard box.
The complementary period starts
Everyone to their places as the second 45 minutes of this intense duel begins in the Pearl of the Tapatia.
End of the first half
A very long first half that featured everything except goals. We'll see what both teams can do after the break.
Now Uros looks bad
Djurdjevic is lying on the field. He is also being treated by medical assistants.
Watch out!
The stadium's power went out momentarily. A flash of light that was immediately restored.
Alarms with Camilo
The medical team came in to examine the Colombian goalkeeper. He grabbed a ball and called for help himself.
6 minutes of added time are added to this first half of the match.
Brian Rodriguez cuts to the center and in a short space of time sends a right-footed shot that goes over the frame.
America asked for the card
Oscar Mejía has a word with Matheus Doria. The center-back deserved a booking for a foul on Zendejas.
America fights in defense
The Foxes' speedy forwards are putting the center backs to the test, and several players have to be added to cover the spaces.
Stick
From the rebound of the previous corner kick, 'Chiquito' shot outside the area and the pale metal received the ball.
Camilooooo
Brian Rodríguez attacked through the middle, leaving his opponents at speed, and, already stumbling, he fired a shot that the goalkeeper sent to the corner. It was a great game, both ways.
The 'Mute' is near!
Eduardo Aguirre crossed close to the goal line and got ahead of Malagón, but it was off target.
Above Aguirre
América made a great play down the left wing. It ended with a cross that "Búfalo" Aguirre sent over.
High pressure
Atlas looks to provoke errors in the opposing defense by adding several elements to pressure the exit.
Atlas survives
Even though America is getting closer, Atlas continues to survive with fast counterattacks that always end near Malagón.
Now forgive America!
First, a long-range shot from Kevin was blocked by Camilo. The rebound went to Zendejas, who scored again with number 5, and the former Pachuca player sent a cross into the box for Fidalgo, who blasted his header.
The change is confirmed
#10 Gustavo del Prete leaves the field, in his place #20 Diego González enters
Bad news with 'Tuti'
Gustavo del Prete goes to the turf again after a divided ball that he didn't go for with enough force minutes ago.
America grows
Although Atlas has been the most dangerous, it's the visitors who have been the most consistent in their possession.
Yellow card for Juárez
The youth player is having a difficult start to the match. He's already missed a couple of chances and is now booked for a slight stamp on Djrdjevic.
Verticality in both sets, seeking the opposing goal. There's no single protagonist; the sense of danger is felt on both sides.
Bad guy!
A corner kick that, after a touch, extends the ball to the far post, where Djurdjevic again finishes. This time, without power, leaving Malagón free to control.
Uros fails!
Poor fielding by Ramón Juárez, leaving Djurdjevic alone, who, from a narrow angle, looked for the near post and sent his shot wide.
Brian vs. the World
América mounted a counterattack in which Brián Rodríguez had to deal with up to five opponents. He ended up losing the ball.
America is saved!
A series of rebounds in the area that Dória finishes with a backheel and Ramón Juárez saves on the line.
The fans are making themselves felt!
Atlas's shot, looking for a locker-room play, goes straight to Luis Ángel Malagón. The goalkeeper is harshly booed by the crowd.
The meeting begins!
The final match of this Saturday's round of matches begins on Matchday 12 of the Liga MX Clausura 2025 tournament.
Atlas has shown glimpses of improvement but continues to struggle with consistency. They secured a thrilling 4-3 victory against Club Tijuana on March 9, followed by a solid 3-1 win over San Luis on March 2. However, their defensive weaknesses were exposed in a 2-0 defeat against Santos Laguna on February 23. Atlas must solidify their defense if they wish to take points from America.
