- Luis Ángel Malagón: The Mexican goalkeeper's ability to make crucial saves is paramount. His past performances against Necaxa highlight his importance in securing the net.
- Sebastián Cáceres: The Uruguayan defender provides solidity and leadership in the backline, a crucial aspect in facing a physically challenging team like Necaxa.
- Álvaro Fidalgo: The Spanish captain orchestrates the midfield with his vision, precise passes, and ball recovery skills. His influence was evident in the Clausura 2025 match against Necaxa, where he scored twice.
- Alejandro Zendejas: A key offensive player, Zendejas faces his former club once again. His speed and dribbling skills pose a significant threat.
Fanatic Fans Cause Chaos!
The arrival of América in Aguascalientes was met with intense enthusiasm. A large crowd of Azulcrema fans gathered to greet their idols. However, the excitement led to some fans breaching the metal barriers set up to keep the path clear for the team bus and players. This resulted in boos and reprimands from other fans who adhered to the rules.
"No guys, no, they won't come out anymore, that's not fandom," one fan was heard saying, followed by chants of "Out, out!" from the rest of the supporters. Eventually, the situation calmed down, and while the team transport remained surrounded by fans, the majority resorted to singing the classic 'Vamos América' chant.
The match also marks a reunion with former teammate Cristian 'Chicote' Calderón, who now plays for Necaxa. Will América be able to overcome the distractions and secure a victory on the road?
