Club America get in the 2024 Leagues Cup underway when they take on Atlas FC at the Snapdragon Stadium on Friday. The Mexican Liga MX champions head into the game off the back of a mid-season friendly campaign and will look to make their return to competitive action on a high.
Illian Hernandez came up clutch for Club America as he netted a 77th-minute winner to hand them a 1-0 friendly victory over English Premier League side Aston Villa last weekend.
Before that, André Jardine’s men made it two wins from four games in the new Liga MX campaign on July 21, when they edged out Juarez FC 2-1 at the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez. On 1 August, Club America fell to a 3-0 friendly loss against Chelsea.
Club America now turn their attention to the Leagues Cup where they will be looking to improve on their round-of-16 finish from last season.
Elsewhere, Atlas suffered a 2-1 defeat against MLS side Real Salt Lake in the final Group H game of the Leagues Cup last time out.
This followed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Houston Dynamo in the group opener on July 28 — a result which saw Benat San Jose’s side make it three wins on the bounce for the first time since May 2022.
Atlas will be aiming to return to winning ways on Friday and go one step further than last season’s round-of-32 exit from the Leagues Cup.
