Headline: América Faces Struggling Puebla After Cruz Azul Loss; Coach Draws Bold Comparison

Mexico City, MX – Club América looks to rebound from a recent defeat against Cruz Azul as they host Puebla in a Week 14 Apertura 2025 match. The game is scheduled to kick off at 7:00 PM CDT at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes.

América, currently third in the league standings with 27 points, is aiming to secure a top-two finish and automatic qualification for the Liguilla playoffs. While a Play-In spot is already guaranteed, América’s remaining schedule looks manageable, with the exception of a Week 17 away match against league leaders Toluca.

Meanwhile, Puebla is languishing at the bottom of the table with a mere 8 points. Their chances of reaching the Liguilla are virtually non-existent, requiring them to win all their remaining matches and rely on a series of unlikely results. Puebla has struggled mightily this season, conceding 32 goals and only managing two wins and two draws in 13 matches.

Adding intrigue to the upcoming match, an América coach recently made a bold comparison between one of the team’s players and a Liga MX legend on the program “Generación F.” Details of the comparison were revealed on ESPN Deportes.

Predicted Lineups:

  • América: Luis Malagón; Israel Reyes, Kevin Álvarez, Cristian Borja, Miguel Vázquez, Igor Lichnovsky; Alexis Gutiérrez, Álvaro Fidalgo, Alan Cervantes, Brian Rodríguez; Alain Saint-Maximin y Rodrigo Aguirre.
  • Puebla: Jesús Rodríguez, Eduardo Navarro, Luis Rey, Nicolas Diaz, Alvaro Alejandro de la Rosa, Efraín Orona, Alejandro Organista, Emiliano Gómez, Walter Portales, Edgar Guerra, Ricardo Marín.
