VIDEO: Miguel Borja made his debut in an América shirt | OneFootball

Colombian striker Miguel Borja was unveiled as a new signing for Club América with the goal of strengthening an América attack that has fallen short in recent tournaments.

And it was today that we saw him play for the first time in the América shirt, although on this occasion it was with the U-21 side, where he started and managed to score his first goal for Las Águilas.

In the same match, Luis Ángel Malagón also started, as did Alejandro Zendejas, contributing a goal and an assist in the 45 minutes he played.

They are ready to face Cruz Azul.

The main idea of the coaching staff was for these three players to be on the bench in a hypothetical Leagues Cup final, but after being eliminated and only having to play the third-place match, it was decided that they would return to Mexico to continue improving their match fitness.

It is worth remembering that América is no longer playing for anything in this Leagues Cup 2026, since this third-place match was only held to award the third Concachampions spot for the tournament, and Club América had already secured its place some time ago.

All three will be available when they face Cruz Azul on September 12 at the Estadio Azteca in Matchday 8 of the Apertura 2026.
