After a five-year drought, Club América’s Eagles soared to victory, clinching their 14th championship in a thrilling duel against Tigres at the Azteca Stadium. André Jardine’s debut season as the helm proved triumphant, overcoming playoff eliminations to lead the team to the top of the table and secure the coveted title.
The Azteca Stadium, witness to this historic achievement, will temporarily close its doors for renovations ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Prior to the hiatus, fans reveled in the parade of heroes who secured the 14th trophy.
The final match unfolded as an intense battle, decided in extra time with goals from Julián Quiñones, Richard Sánchez, and Jonathan Rodríguez. Exploiting the ejections of Tigres’ Nahuel Guzmán and Raymundo Fulgencio, América avoided a penalty shootout, sealing their victory.
The night was further etched in history by the emotional retirement of Miguel Layún, bidding farewell as a champion. The defender concluded his illustrious professional football career on the Azteca Stadium’s pitch, leaving behind a lasting legacy in Mexican football.
