En busca de su título número 14, el América parece imparable. Las Águilas volvieron a demoler al Puebla y se convirtieron en el equipo que más goles ha anotado en una llave de liguilla en la historia de la Liga MX para un global de ¡11-2!.
El conjunto azulcrema había vencido 6-1 en la ida y en la revancha, con equipo mixto, le pegó sin piedad a La Franja con un 5-1 en el Azteca. Cinco jugadores distintos convirtieron y bien pudieron ser seis, si no es por la acción del cuerpo arbitral que le arruinó un gol y un festejo a lo CR7 a Jürgen Damm.

There’s an old cliché in football that the table doesn’t lie. In MLS — where the Supporters’ Shield is a nice accolade but pales significantly to lifting MLS Cup — that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang clarified his comments on Mikel Arteta after a video showed him criticizing the Arsenal manager, saying that he had "a lot of bad feelings" for the north London club at that time but wishes them well now.
The video, which was leaked on social media, showed Aubameyang saying "Big characters and big players... he can't deal with it. He needs some young players who don't say anything" as the Gabon international spoke about Arteta.
I've played on long fields, short fields, skinny fields, wide fields. Fields with metal fencing as the net and fields so hilly you could barely see from one goal to another. In high school, the inauguration of our newly-turfed home field was even delayed because movable goals were brought in instead of anchored ones.
But never have I heard of the goals being two different sizes — as was the case at Saturday's EFL Championship match between Wigan Athletic and Cardiff City.

He also blamed the format as one of the culprits behind the lack of success among Mexican players on the international stage.
