América to lock horns with Puebla in last eight of Clausura | OneFootball

América will take on Puebla in the quarter-finals of the 2022 Clausura.

The Azulcrema were waiting on this weekend’s Repachaje results to find out who their first opponent in the play-offs would be.

Puebla progressed at the expense of Mazatlán on Sunday, despite having substitute Martín Barragán sent off late on and then conceding an injury-time equaliser.

They kept their nerve to win the resulting penalty shootout 3-1, with Israel Reyes converting the decisive spot kick.

While the full schedule will not be confirmed until Monday, it is anticipated that the first leg between Puebla and América will be at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc this Thursday. The return leg would then be at the Estadio Azteca on Sunday.

The two sides on the first matchday of the regular season, with Las Águilas earning a 1-1 draw on the road despite losing Roger Martínez to a first-half red card.
