Club America play host to Pumas UNAM at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes in round 11 of the Mexican Liga MX on Saturday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results, with Efrain Juarez’s men suffering a humbling defeat against FC Juarez.
American international Alejandro Zendejas continued his hot streak in front of goal as he struck in the 89th minute to hand Club America a 1-0 victory over a resilient Atletico San Luis side on Wednesday.
Before that, Jardine’s side saw their seven-game unbeaten run (5W, 2D) in the league come to an end in a 2-1 home loss against Guadalajara on September 14, one week before playing out a thrilling 2-2 draw with Monterrey.
