América still can't find the net, match unwanted record from 1970 | OneFootball

Club América has had a rather negative start to the tournament, having only earned two points out of a possible nine, but without a doubt, what is most concerning is their lack of goals.

The Águilas are the only team in Liga MX that still hasn't managed to score a single goal; in fact, on a global level, there is no other first division club that has yet to score after playing three or more matches.

This is something that has only happened once before in América's history, and interestingly, it happened right before the World Cup held in Mexico, just as is happening now.

It was during the Mexico 70 tournament when the Águilas started the tournament with three matches without scoring a goal: they debuted with a 0-1 loss to Toluca, then lost 1-0 to Laguna, and drew 0-0 with Pachuca in the third round.

It wasn't until the fourth round that the team finally scored a goal, in a 1-1 draw against Atlante with a goal from Juan Manuel Borbolla.

When will they break the current bad streak?

Currently, the Águilas began the tournament with a goalless draw against Xolos, then lost 0-2 at home to San Luis, and their last match again ended 0-0 against Pachuca.

The next match for América will be at home against Necaxa in round 4 of the Clausura 2026. If they finally manage to score, they will match what happened in the Mexico 70 tournament.

But if they fail to score again, it would be the first time in history this has happened, and we would have to wait until the next matches, which will be against Olimpia at the start of the Concachampions and against Monterrey in round 5 of the Clausura 2026.
