América recognised captain Guillermo Ochoa for becoming the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in the club’s 105-year history. Prior to their game against Tigres at the Azteca stadium, the Eagles paid a small tribute to Ochoa, who was accompanied by his wife, children and parents.

The 0-1 win against Querétaro in Week 16 brought up 111 games in which Memo hasn’t conceded a goal, surpassing the previous mark of 110 set by Adrián Chávez.
