Club América has already secured its presence in the final stages of the Clausura 2021 of Liga MX by beating Mazatlán FC 0-1 on match day 12 of the tournament, after it was practically ‘right’ in the play-offs. However, some small frills are missing so that Santiago Solari’s team can also ensure their presence in the direct Liguilla and that no one can remove them from the top four places in the table.
To achieve this, America must defeat the Rayos del Necaxa, who are the Eagles’ next rivals at Azteca Stadium. Once America manages to win this match at home against those led by Guillermo Vázquez, they will need a series of combinations in other results to seal their direct pass to the big league of Liga MX.

If America won against Necaxa, it would score 31 points, 12 units more than Toluca, which is in fifth place, and 13 more than Atlas, which is in sixth place. Another win for the azulcremas takes the Rojinegros out of play as the difference would be 13 points in the absence of 12 to play.
Write it down well, Azulcremas brothers, there is very little left to guarantee 100% the Liguilla.

And with Toluca it’s the same story as the difference would be 12 to 12 points to play as long as both Toluca and Atlas lose their respective matches on Date 12 against León and Xolos de Tijuana respectively.

With this combination of results, America would only have to draw a draw against the Tigres on Matchday 14 to secure its direct pass to the Liguilla so it would reach the Young Classic against Cruz Azul, split into the big match, anytime and when this combination occurs.
