Overview
- Allan Saint-Maximin broke an eight-match scoring drought with a long-range strike around the 57th minute before Rodrigo Aguirre sealed the win near 84'.
- With the victory, América moved to third on 34 points and can still contend for the top spot depending on next week’s outcomes elsewhere.
- León remained penultimate on 13 points, leaving its Play-In hopes virtually ended in the late stages of the Apertura 2025.
- James Rodríguez started for León as multiple reports indicate he will not continue with the club, framing the match as a likely farewell.
- América controlled possession at Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, limited León to scant threat until late, and used late substitutions to manage out the result.
