América knocked out of Leagues Cup 2025 | OneFootball

A bit earlier than expected, but it was imminent, Club América is eliminated from the Leagues Cup 2025.

The eagles needed several combinations of results, in addition to a victory against Portland Timbers to have the slightest chance of qualifying for the next round.

But today three results occurred that eliminated América: Toluca defeated NY City, Puebla beat Montreal, and Pachuca defeated Dynamo.

These results made it impossible for the eagles to reach any of the top four places, and therefore they were eliminated from the tournament.

This is because the main tiebreaker criterion is the number of victories, and the top four places (the places that qualify), add up to two, and currently Club América has zero and at most, can reach one if they defeat Portland Timbers.

Is it a failure to be eliminated from the Leagues Cup?

Normally the Leagues Cup is considered a lesser important tournament in the football year, being behind titles such as Liga MX, Concachampions and even the Champion of Champions.

But considering the year Club América has had, this is a very hard blow as the team has lost everything this year.

In fact, this is the fifth trophy they "lose" so far in 2025; they started with the fall in the quarterfinals of the Concachampions against Cruz Azul, then they lost the Clausura 2025 final against Toluca and closed the first half of the year with a defeat against LAFC in the 'Play-in' of the Club World Cup.

And unfortunately, the season has started in the same way, they lost the Champion of Champions against Toluca and now they were eliminated from the first phase of the Leagues Cup.

The only winnable trophy left this year is the Apertura 2025, as of today they are far from being the favorites, but we will see that in December.
