In the third installment of the Young Classic series, the teams battled to a scoreless draw. Despite having the home advantage, América failed to capitalize and subsequently lost their first-place position. Adding to América’s woes, Cruz Azul, who had already dashed their Concacaf hopes, thwarted their attempt to retain the top spot in the Liga MX standings. The showdown at the Azulcrema stadium, which was not filled to capacity, ended with neither side able to find the net.
