America slipped at home with Atlas 0-1 and takes the Puma raffle for the playoffs
America couldn't break down Atlas and in a moment of carelessness, the Red-and-Blacks defeated them 0-1 to qualify for the playoffs and send the Eagles to face Pumas
In 90 days of a fight, the Rojinegros defeated the Aguilas 0-1 to advance to the quarterfinals and confine America to eighth area, where they will experience Pumas in the finals, Atlas ' cunning proved more successful at taking advantage of a blunder by Uruguayan keeper Sebastian Caceres than the Eagles ' persistence. After claiming their first victory of the 2017 Clausura tournament with a 1-2 victory on matchday 17 of the championship, Atlas broke a nine-year winless streak at Estadio Banorte ( Azteca ). The team under the Portuguese management Andre Jardine never anticipated that Alfonso" Ponchito" Gonzalez would make the error that would leave the happy Azulcremas lying on the field in breakdown time. On this gloomy night, America had the chance to start the rating from the penalty place, but they don't even capitalize on that. Brazilian Raphael Veiga was overly cautious at the Banorte ( Azteca ) stadium, almost handing the ball to Colombian Camilo Vargas. After Gonzalez had fended off two soldiers, he managed to shoot at the target that Rodolfo Cota don't stop the well-placed shot from causing the Atlas player's expectation. The final blow came when America just had a few more minutes to at least maintain a draw that would allow them to maintain their entire standings lead, but the weight of the outcome dropped them to eighth place, and Atlas placed them in fifth place with 26 points, leaving Tigres in seventh and the happy Eagles in seventh. America had earlier expressed regret for not knowing how to defeat the Red and Blacks. Raphael Veiga, Erick Sanchez, Alejandro Zendejas, and Brian Rodriguez were the attacking players who repeatedly attacked Camilo Vargas ' goal, but they failed to find creative ways to do so. Patricio Salas, Henry Martin, and Jose" Pantera" Zuniga later joined them. In contrast, Atlas established a zonal, staggered defense that made it nearly impossible for America to take advantage of dangerous terrain and defeat the Rojinegros. The Americanistas suffered a bitter defeat as a result of this.
