The match between Am\u00e9rica and Cruz Azul on Matchday 14 of the Clausura 2026 promises intensity not only because of the historic rivalry, but also because of a factor that could change the course of the tournament for both clubs. Beyond the three points at stake, there is a real threat that could directly affect their position in the table: the possible loss of points at the end of the regular phase.<\/p>\n

This clash comes at a key moment, with both teams looking to consolidate their positions at the top of the standings. However, there is one regulatory element that has set off alarm bells in both Coapa and La Noria.<\/p>\n

In Liga MX<\/a> there is a regulation that requires teams to play at least 1,170 minutes with young players during the tournament.<\/p>\n

This measure seeks to promote the development of national talent, but not all clubs have been able to comply with it.<\/p>\n

So far, after 13 games played, Am\u00e9rica and Cruz Azul have yet to reach the required minimum.<\/p>\n

Unlike most teams in the championship.<\/p>\n

America records approximately 1,006 minutes, leaving it 164 minutes short.<\/p>\n

Cruz Azul is closer, but still needs to complete an additional 131 minutes.<\/p>\n

The rules are clear: teams that do not comply will lose three points at the end of the regular season.<\/p>\n

This could have a direct impact on the qualification to the playoffs or even on the final position in the table.<\/p>\n
