The win over Pumas in the Clásico Capitalino came courtesy of a second half strike from Jonathan Rodriguez to give them a narrow 1-0 victory.

This dominant run of Clásico form began on Matchday 7 when América defeated Cruz Azul 3-2 in Clásico Joven. Goals from Julián Quiñones, Brian Rodríguez and Richard Sánchez gave them the win at Estadio Azteca.
