Copa por México semifinals are set: Chivas v.s. America & Cruz Azul v.s. Tigres
The semifinals of the Copa por México will feature none other than El Super Clasico Nacional, Chivas v.s. América this Thursday night! That’s right! Chivas finished at the top of Group A after their crosstown rival Atlas scored a stoppage-time goal to relegate Tigres to the second spot.
Tuca Ferretti’s men will now face arguably the toughest team in the tournament, Cruz Azul, who swept Group B by scoring nine goals while only allowing two.

Pumas and Toluca played to a forgetful 0-0 draw that saw both squads get eliminated from Group B. That result paved for a Las Aguilas del America second-place finish, which in turn, will allow for the Super Clasico Nacional to take place.

The semifinals and finals will serve the squads as bonus preparations as they get ready to kick-off the 2020 Clausura season. The league released their schedule today, and the regular-season Super Clasico is scheduled to take place on Saturday, September 19, later this year.
