Follow the action of the FINAL Return leg of the Apertura 2024 of the Liga MX

Ennndddd

It's over!

The Eagles endured and achieved their third championship. The first team to achieve this under the short tournament format.

There will be one last one!

There is a foul near the area and a free kick will come where everyone goes looking for the ball.

Long shot!

Rojas gained confidence and shot from far away, and although it seemed to be going in the right direction, the ball slipped away.

Six of added

Last 6 minutes of support for América and minutes of pure delivery for Rayados.

Adjust Jardine

#18 Cristian Calderón leaves the field and is replaced by #26 Cristian Borja.

Paloooooooooooo

A corner kick is quickly headed in and the crossbar prevents the equaliser.

Suffer America!

Monterrey is a whirlwind and America is glued to its own goal.

Goal for Monterrey

Inside the area, Johan Rojas makes a couple of cuts and puts it in the far post. We'll have a roaring finale!

It is played on one side only

All the action takes place in the American half. Monterrey continues to lack creativity.

America moves away as best it can

Monterrey is very imprecise and America takes advantage of this to go to the opposing area looking to waste time.

America defends itself with its nails

A large number of crosses that America rejects left and right. The two-time champion endures.

Last 15!

We are approaching the final stretch of the match. It is now or never for Rayados, who need two goals to force at least extra time.

Jardine's first change

#20 Richard Sanchez comes out with cramps, and #6 Jonathan Dos Santos comes in for him

More changes for Demichelis

#9 Brandon Vazquez leaves, #31 Roberto de la Rosa enters

#8 Oliver Torres leaves, #17 Jesus Corona enters

America doesn't look good either

The Eagles seem to need changes. No one can hold the ball and the pressure from the opponent is too much.

Monterrey asks for a penalty

Brandon Vázquez was pushed and grabbed in the box. The referee, very close by, immediately indicated that there was no infringement.

The Rayados are diluted

The pressure from the home team has ended. They have not found a way to create any real danger.

Breathe America

Visitors have found useful exit opportunities to ward off danger and allow the clock to tick.

Rojas' foul on Cervantes causes discomfort

Amidst pushing and pulling, both players fall to the ground, causing anger among the Rayados player and the home crowd.

Lack of clarity

Rayados are finding spaces but there is no clarity in the definitions, or even in the final touch.

Fold the bird

All those with yellow plumage await the siege of the Striped Ones who search everywhere.

Asphyxiation Monterrey

América can't get out of its own zone. Los Rayados are on top and want a goal to change the dynamic.

Monterrey seeks to react quickly

Rayados insist on the flanks and after getting a corner kick and giving Malagón a warning, the crowd comes back in due to these signs of a reaction.

#15 Hector Moreno leaves, #20 Sebastian Vegas enters

#14 Erick Aguirre leaves, #16 Johan Rojas enters

Last 45 minutes!

Action resumes with the Rayados forced to respond as soon as possible.

End of the first

América is 45 minutes away from winning the third championship against a rival that, frankly, is dying of nothing.

4 more minutes added

A couple more minutes before the end of this first period.

Change full of boos

#21 Henry Martín leaves the field and is replaced by #27 Rodrigo Aguirre.

Henry will not be able to continue

Incredible endurance from the historic blue-cream scorer who will have to leave the field.

Hesitations in defense

Monterrey continues to base its attack on crosses from the right. Now Kevin avoided complications and gave away a corner kick.

The right band is an avenue

América is finding space on the wing guarded by Gerardo Arteaga. Demichelis needs to correct this as soon as possible.

America in control

Rayados lost confidence, they did not grab the ball, and the visitors took advantage of this to keep possession.

Another scratched notice

Overflowing down the right flank, he crossed to the far post, but Arteaga, without any idea, ended up passing it to Malagón.

Salvador Medina!

Kevin overflows, diagonal to Zendejas and a block from the Colombian defender prevents América's second.

Malagooooooon!

A cross into the area was finished off by Berterame first-timer and the Michoacan goalkeeper brilliantly deflected it with both hands.

Goooooooooooooooolaaaaaaaazooooooooooooo from Americaaaaaaaa

América passed the ball back and forth and Richard took it from far away, just as he likes, and put it in the top corner. América is getting closer to the title!

Artega was cautioned

In a previous play, the referee showed the warning card to the #3 jersey for repeated complaints.

Monterrey wants to keep the baton

The Rayados continue to search and press, trying to provoke errors in the Americanist defense.

Goal cancelled

Henry sends a cross into the area, but the offside position is immediately and correctly penalized.

Caaaaaaardenas!

The ball was stolen in the low area, Henry passed it to Zendejas who shot at point-blank range from the goalkeeper who was once again opportune.

There is no change!

It seemed like the ball was being waited for to come out for Henry Martín to make a substitution, but the action had already stopped and there was no movement from the bench.

America is getting closer

Monterrey leaves spaces and the Eagles add a lot of men on offense. Only scares and nerves for now.

Alarms in America!

Henry felt discomfort and immediately alerted his coaching staff, who already had the possible substitutes warm up.

Monterrey taking the lead

As has been the case in several matches in this league, the Eagles wait, yielding the initiative to their opponents who today must necessarily score.

The first auction is here!

Brandon Vázquez wins the jump and finishes with little power to the Malagón location

César Ramos blows his whistle and the first 45 minutes of this last match of the campaign get underway. May the best team win!
