Mexican Primera, 2011 Apertura Week 14: Tigres-Monterrey Ends In Draw; Chivas Win Super Clasico

It’s the biggest match in Mexico. It’s Club America and Chivas Guadalajara in the Super Clasico. Estadio Azteca will be full and the buzz will be felt throughout Mexico City. For the first time in a while too, this match matters. It’s been for pride and bragging rights only lately, but not today. This one is going to affect the table as the Primera inches closer to the Liguilla. For America, they are desperate for three points as they look to make the Liguilla. They need a win and Kevin McCauley from FMF State of Mind thinks they can get it.

The Super Clasico is always a big one, but it’s extra huge today. It should be a thriller and the atmosphere will be incredible too. This is what we in the biz like to call “must see TV.”

We’ve mentioned how important UANL Tigres vs. Monterrey is in terms of the visitors’ season. However, Saturday’s match at the Estadio Universitario might be even more critical than that. At FMF State of Mind, SB Nation’s Mexican futbol blog, Kevin McCauley says that a loss here could mean the end of an era for a once spectacular Monterrey side:

Of course, things could turn around in a heartbeat with a Monterrey win tonight. It’s all up in the air, and the match this evening will mean absolutely everything.
