- BY CÉSAR CRUZ

The Eagles ew again at the top of Mexican soccer. After ve years of waiting, the blue creams are the new monarchs of Aztec football

The long-awaited 14th arrived. Five long years had to pass for the Eagles to &y to the top and become the champions of the Liga MX. Again, as in the times of Reinoso, Brailovsky, Blanco and Benítez, America again lifted the trophy that accredits him as monarch of Aztec football after beating Tigres 3-0 in overtime.

The afternoon was the ideal, Americanis­m was felt in the streets of Santa Úrsula Coapa to welcome his own. Among a tumult the feathered arrived at the Aztec Stadium to write the story. The felines also arrived at the Calzada de Tlalpan building, however their arrival was between aggression­s, since the team's truck was hit by some projectile­s that broke the windows of it.

Round trip game

As expected, the two best teams of the tournament and the maximum circuit engaged in a roundtrip match that had dangerous actions in both goals. The Krst of them occurred after 15 minutes, when André Pierre Gignac grabbed a volley ball and made the entire Colossus of Santa Ursula tremble.

America responded thanks to a shot from Diego Valdés, but the Kgure of Nahuel Guzmán increased and covered up the Chilean's attempt. Gignac also had his own, but Luis Ángel Malagón did the same and with a slap he prevented the fall of his frame.

The passing of the minutes made the game become a real 'win goal', however that much-awaited score did not appear in the 90 minutes. Before the end of the game, Raymundo Fulgencio was expelled by a slap in the face of Julián Quiñones.
