Club America host Guadalajara at the Estadio Azteca on Saturday for the second leg of their Clausura semi finals with the tie finely poised right now.
The sides played out a goalless stalemate on Thursday in Guadalajara, despite having a total of eight shots on target at both ends as neither were clinical enough to bury their chances.
In the second leg, though, the margin for error will be really small as the team that fails to take their opportunities could lose out.
Interestingly, the 0-0 draw was also a repeat of their clash on 16 March 2024, when Club America visited Guadalajara during the league phase of Clausura season.
