Pumas defeated América 1–0 in the latest iteration of El Clásico Capitalino. The derby honored its tradition of being a high-intensity, fiery and heated affair between two massive Liga MX clubs that have built one of the biggest rivalries in the country.
Piero Quispe's goal in the 19th minute was enough to secure the three points for Pumas. The 23-year-old took advantage of a disastrous moment from América's defense. Cristian Calderón tried to clear the ball after two América defenders collided; however, the clearance fell right to Pumas's Guillermo Martinez, who passed it to a running Quispe.
