There are miracles, and then there's what America needs in the second leg of the Liguilla semifinals.
Las Aguilas suffered an embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Pumas UNAM on Thursday. A total of five yellow cards and two red cards were shown, leaving America with just nine players on the pitch. Not only will the club be forced to overturn a 3-0 deficit on the road, but it'll have to be done without conceding a single goal.

What They're Saying
America captain Rubens Sambueza (via Esto): "This team will fight until the end because we are the biggest club in Mexico. To all the America fans, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for all the support you give the team."
Pumas UNAM defender Luis Fuentes (via Esto): "We're leading in the first half, if you can take it that way. We haven't won anything. There are still 90 minutes left and anything can happen. I think we have to remain calm and be smart at home to qualify for the final. This team wants to accomplish that and we're going to fight until we do."
