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 ticket to their second consecutive final, Kevin Mier made a serious mistake on the field and conceded a penalty in favor of América. In an attempt to get the ball, Kevin Mier fouled Rodrigo Aguirre, and after a VAR review, Víctor Cáceres awarded the penalty to the Águilas, which Henry Martín successfully converted. The penalty came at a good time for the Águilas, as with time on the clock, they will seek a second goal to secure a spot to compete for the Tetracampeonato.

Mexico's president calls for no ICE raids during Mexico-Dominican Republic soccer match
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum urged U.S. officials on Friday not to target individuals attending a Gold Cup soccer match in Los Angeles between the Mexican national team and the Dominican Republic. Dozens of workers have been detained by federal immigration authorities in a series of raids in LA's fashion district and at Home Depot parking lots in Southern California. More than 100 people have been detained. 'We don't believe that there will be any raids if there's a soccer game,' Sheinbaum said in a news conference. 'We hope there won't be any. We call for no action from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.' Mexico is scheduled to play the Dominican Republic on Saturday night at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, in a group stage match of the Gold Cup. Usually, the Mexican national team matches attract thousands of fans whenever they play in Southern California. Their last match there was in March, when more than 50,000 fans attended a League of Nations semifinal against Canada. In the most recent measure in the administration's immigration crackdown, President Donald Trump deployed National Guard troops and Marines to the Los Angeles area after the raids sparked days of tumultuous protests throughout the city. The city's downtown has seen a variety of protests, from quiet to boisterous. Over the weekend, protesters blocked a key freeway and set cars on fire. For safety concerns, the Mexican national team decided to change hotels earlier in the week and moved from downtown to Long Beach. Sheinbaum also said that the Mexican consulates in the United States have implemented an information campaign guide for Mexicans in the event of unjust detention by immigration authorities. 'This campaign we are carrying out through the consulates will provide all the information on what to do if detained, as well as ongoing contact with families,' the Sheinbaum said. ___ AP soccer:

A US Open oops for Lowry, who gets a penalty after picking up his ball but forgetting to mark
OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Shane Lowry was penalized a stroke Friday at the U.S. Open after he accidentally picked up his ball on the 14th green without marking it. If nothing else, it gave Lowry something to laugh about during an otherwise miserable round. The penalty shot gave him a double bogey on the hole and brought his score for the tournament to 16-over par with four holes left. The cut line was hovering at 6 over. Lowry, who played in the final group the last time the U.S. Open was at Oakmont in 2016, was set to miss the cut in his second straight major after tying for 42nd at the Masters. The Rules of Golf say if a player picks up a ball on the green without marking it, he can replace it at the original spot with a penalty of one stroke. After realizing what he'd done, he and his playing partners, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose, laughed, then Lowry asked a rules official what to do? 'Just put it back where it was?' he said. He did, then barely missed a 55-footer that would have been for bogey, including the penalty. ___ AP golf:
