The Águilas del América beat the Chicago Fire 1-0 thanks to an own goal by Gastón Giménez and the Liga MX side now advance to the Round of 16 of the Leagues Cup where they will play Nashville SC. The Mexican side did have to play the game without key striker Henry Martin with the player injured during the warm-up.

Martin was all set to start the game in Chicago but sustained problems that inhibited him from completing the warm-up drills forcing America to make last minute alterations to the team with fans unaware of the seriousness of the injury.
