Club América’s honor is on the line
Las Águilas can no longer reach the quarter-finals of the 2025 Leagues Cup, but are tasked with salvaging some pride against Portland Timbers.
The league phase of the Leagues Cup is coming to a close - and it’s a format that has left clubs little no margin for error. Whether you lose, draw, or even win via penalty shootout, the tournament format punishes anything short of a full three-point victory.
Club América learned that the hard way. With just three points from two matches, even a win in their final group game - against Portland Timbers today - won’t be enough to keep them alive in the competition.
Portland, too, has nothing left to play for, making this a match with more of a friendly tone - an opportunity for both sides to salvage some pride and put a better face on their Leagues Cup campaign.
