América miss out on the semi-finals for the first time in four years | OneFootball

Club América was eliminated from the Apertura 2025 after falling in the quarterfinals to Rayados with a last-minute goal.

It was a strange series for América, as the opponent never showed superiority, but despite that, we saw a team that even when it had everything to seal the series, did not do so and ended up retreating into their own area against 10 Rayados players.

In the end, both tactical and individual errors led to the elimination, and this will be the first time in seven tournaments that we see Liga MX semifinals without Club América.

The streak of reaching the semifinals was broken.

The streak began in the Clausura 2022 when they eliminated Puebla in the quarterfinals; in the Apertura 2022, they repeated the story against the same opponent.

For the Clausura 2023, they defeated Atlético de San Luis, a club that arrived with André Jardine as coach, surprising everyone with their good style of play, and for the Apertura 2023, they knocked out León.

For the Clausura 2023, the opponent was Pachuca, and for the Apertura 2024, they eliminated a Toluca that arrived in very good form and was even considered the favorite by many.

And we arrive at 2025, in the Clausura they again knocked out Pachuca, and just in the Apertura 2025, the streak was broken by falling to Monterrey.
