This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here.
Just minutes after celebrating the second goal that gave Cruz Azul a spot in their second consecutive final, Kevin Mier made a serious mistake on the field and gave away a penalty in favor of América. As he went for the ball, Kevin Mier committed a foul on Rodrigo Aguirre, and after a VAR review, Víctor Cáceres awarded the Águilas a penalty, which Henry Martín successfully converted. The penalty came at a good time for the Águilas, as with time still on the clock, they will look for a second goal that would give them a chance to fight for the four-time championship.

Connor McDavid's moment: A deep dive into the booming market for his collectibles
Connor McDavid is once again having a dominant postseason, leading the Edmonton Oilers to another Stanley Cup Final. With 32 points in 20 games, he's at the top of NHL playoff scoring alongside teammate Leon Draisaitl. At this point, words like 'superb' or 'dazzling' don't even do him justice—everything's already been said. In Game 1 of the Final, McDavid added to his highlight reel by setting up Leon Draisaitl for the OT winner. In Game 4, he notched another assist during a dramatic overtime comeback. Despite this, the Oilers remain in a tight battle with the defending champion Florida Panthers, and the series is currently tied at 2-2. McDavid's market already heating up McDavid's cards and memorabilia have been in demand ever since he entered the league, and this year is no different. His market continues to climb, and if he ends up winning the Cup, expect even more upside. His premium-level collectibles have always been strong, but now even the mid-tier and entry-level cards are catching fire. Here are some notable pieces worth paying attention to: 2015 Upper Deck #201 Young Guns Base Rookie Not his priciest, but definitely his most iconic rookie card. The Young Guns brand is always a go-to for collectors, and McDavid's is near the top of that list. According to Sports Card Investor, PSA 10s have jumped 13% in the last 30 days and are now selling between $2.4K and $3.3K. It's one of the most coveted Young Guns cards out there — and for good reason. Advertisement Buy on eBay. (Via Mantel) 2015-16 O-Pee-Chee Platinum Autograph RC #190 Probably the cheapest autographed McDavid rookie — though that still means it last sold raw for $1,536. What makes this card stand out is its variety of parallels (like Traxx /125 or Rainbow Purple /15), making it a great option for set builders or collectors looking for unique options. Buy on eBay. (Via Mantel) 2015 UD Star Rookies #1 Base This is likely the most affordable McDavid rookie card on the market. It's recently been selling between $114–$265 (PSA 10), and in just the last month, it's seen a 57% jump. If you're looking for an accessible entry point, this could be it — but don't wait too long. Advertisement Buy on eBay. (Via Mantel) 2015 SP Authentic Future Watch Auto #226 A fan favorite known for its eye appeal, brand strength, and investment value. This one's not cheap — PSA 10s have been selling between $9.6K and $14.1K over the last month. Still, it's widely viewed as one of McDavid's best autographed rookies outside of The Cup. Buy on eBay. (Via Mantel) 2015-16 Upper Deck The Cup Signed Patch Rookie #197 This is the McDavid card. High-end, ultra-rare, and visually elite. Prices have ranged from $115K–$200K in recent years. And with Goldin currently hosting an auction where one is sitting at $22K, a serious collector might be able to make a move. Long term? This could be the most valuable hockey card ever if McDavid ends his career with a full trophy case. Advertisement Buy on eBay. (Via Mantel) 4-Nations Game-Worn Team Canada Jersey This jersey, worn during the NHL 4 Nations Tournament versus the USA, carries extra significance. McDavid hasn't played in an Olympics, making this a rare international appearance. Not only did he wear the red and white, but he also scored the OT winner in the championship game. The jersey from his first game against the US in that tournament sold for $47K — an all-time great modern memorabilia piece. (Via Mantel) Why now might be the best time to buy McDavid is already tracking to be one of the greatest players in NHL history. If he wins a Stanley Cup, his market could escalate from premium to untouchable. While his cards are already expensive, there's still room to grow. For those who believe in playing the long game, this might be the best time to buy in. Your collection deserves a community. Download Mantel today.

Mexican FA accused of silencing clubs seeking promotion reinstatement
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Two Mexican clubs seeking to reinstate promotion and relegation say the Mexican Football Association is trying to silence and punish them after they appealed to sport's highest court. Last month, 10 of the 15 clubs in Mexico's second division filed the appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Since then, four of them have opted out leaving six in it: Leones Negros, Venados FC, Atlético Morelia, Cancún FC, Club Atlético La Paz and Mineros. The FMF halted promotion in 2019 and agreed with the second division teams to reinstate it in 2026, but there are no current plans to do it and that is why the clubs went to CAS. 'We can't ascend to the first division because the league is kidnapped,' Giovanni Solazzi, the Cancún FC vice president said this week. 'If there is sporting justice, promotion must return.' Alberto Castellanos, the Leones Negros president, also criticized the federation for what he called 'monopolistic practices.' On Wednesday, the federation wrote to Solazzi and Castellanos informing them they were being investigated because their statements may have breached the code of ethics. The clubs could be fined up to 450,000 pesos (about $23,000), stated the letter, seen by the Associated Press. 'The FMF is clearly pursuing an intimidatory process intended to silence and punish the clubs for appealing to CAS,' said Eduardo Carlezzo, the owner of the legal firm representing the clubs in the appeal. The owners of the 18 top flight teams voted to halt promotion and relegation for six seasons, arguing it would help to consolidate the second-division clubs. As a payoff, the second tier clubs share an $8 million pot. Since the CAS appeal, the second division teams claim they have not received any payments. 'The federation suspended the financial compensation the day after the appeal was launched and is now threatening disciplinary sanction over comment,' Carlezzo said. 'These actions constitute a serious and blatant infringement of the freedom of expression and the access to justice guaranteed by the Mexican constitution.' ___ AP soccer:
