Puebla welcome Club America to the Estadio Cuauhtemoc for a Liga MX round 17 fixture on Friday (April 26).
The hosts are coming off a 3-1 defeat at Club Tijuana last weekend. They took the lead through Miguel Sansores just before the break, but the 32-year-old went from hero to zero as he was sent off in the 55th minute. Second-half goals from Jose Zuniga, Efrain Alvarez and Kevin Castaneda helped Tijuana complete the comeback.
America, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 home draw with Pachuca in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinal. First-half goals from Alex Zendejas and Andres Micolta ensured that the tie was still firmly balanced.
The Eagles turn their focus back to the domestic scene, where their last game was a 2-1 defeat at UNAM Pumas. Despite the loss, they remain at the summit of the points table, having garnered 32 points from 16 games, joint-level with Toluca.
