On Sunday night, one of the most intense rivalries in Mexican football will play out at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, where Club America will harbor their enemies from all over the city Cougars UNAM. Since 2010, Las Aguilas have dominated the Clasico Capitalino, claiming victory in 20 of their last 41 meetings, compared to Pumas’ 10 wins, with the remaining 11 ending in draws.

Last weekend, Andre Jardine’s team saved a 1-1 draw against Necaxa, thanks to an equalizer in injury time from Henry Martin.
