América facing uphill Apertura battle
Entering the second half of the regular season, Las Águilas are to come up against a tough run of games.
Following Club América’s tough defeat last Saturday at the hands of Chivas Guadalajara - a loss that also ended their unbeaten streak - questions have once again surfaced about the team’s performance. The setback exposed several issues within André Jardine’s squad, and with the second half of the Apertura 2025 regular season now underway, Las Águilas are staring down a challenging stretch against some of the league’s top contenders.
While América has notched some convincing wins this campaign, there are still several opponents ahead who will truly test whether this team remains a legitimate title contender - and whether their new signings can rise to the occasion. Fans are still waiting for big performances from names like Alexis Gutiérrez, José Zúñiga, Isaias Violante, and of course, Allan Saint-Maximin.
Can América avoid drawing trophy blank in 2025?
These upcoming matchups are exactly where they’ll need to step up. It’s worth remembering: this year, América has already let the CONCACAF Champions Cup, a Liga MX four-peat, a Club World Cup berth, and the Campeón de Campeones slip away. The Apertura 2025 is their last shot to avoid finishing the year empty-handed.
América’s remaining Apertura 2025 schedule
- At Monterrey (Matchday 9)
- At Atlético San Luis (Matchday 10)
- Home vs Pumas (Matchday 11)
- Home vs Santos (Matchday 12)
- At Cruz Azul (Matchday 13)
- Home vs Puebla (Matchday 14)
- At Mazatlán (Matchday 15)
- Home vs León (Matchday 16)
- At Toluca (Matchday 17)
The most immediate challenge is a visit to league leaders Monterrey and their star-studded roster. Then come a pair of clásicos, and the tournament wraps up against the reigning champions - a team that’s handed América two straight defeats, both with silverware on the line.
