Club América vs Pumas today, quarter-final second leg, Clausura 2026 | OneFootball

Today, Club América takes on Pumas at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario in the second leg of the Clausura 2026 quarterfinals.

A match is coming up that will define América’s season; advancing would mean staying alive in the race to win the league trophy, but losing would mean being eliminated from all competition and saying goodbye to another season without a single championship.

Nor can we rule out that André Jardine’s job is on the line, since after achieving the historic three-peat, he has not been able to lift the team; they went trophyless throughout 2025, and so far we are seeing the same in the first half of 2026, although it is clear that not all of it is his responsibility.

It will be a key match in which the opponent comes in as the favorite, since they are playing at home, are coming off a historic regular season for them with 36 points, and even a draw would be enough for them to advance.

The players ruled out for this match.

The probable lineup for this clash.

In goal will be Rodolfo Cota.

There could be a surprise in central defense with Néstor Araujo returning to the starting lineup after a year out; Miguel Vázquez and Ramón Juárez would join him in the position. At right back would be Kevin Álvarez and on the left, Thiago Espinoza.

In midfield would be Alexis Gutiérrez alongside Erick Sánchez.

And in attack, Isaías Violante on the left, Alejandro Zendejas on the right, and Patricio Salas as center forward.

The kit Club América will wear.

What time is the match and where can you watch it?

The match will be played at 07:15 PM (Central Mexico time) and will be broadcast on Canal 5, TUDN, VIX Premium, and Layvtime in Mexico. In the United States, it will air on TUDN USA.
