Coach Almada leaves Pachuca before Club World Cup
Mexico City, May 29 (UNI) Pachuca parted ways with Uruguayan manager Guillermo Almada just three weeks before the club's debut at the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. The decision comes after Pachuca was eliminated in the quarterfinals of Mexico's Liga MX Clausura tournament earlier this month by Club America. "Manager Guillermo Almada concluded his brilliant tenure at the helm of our team today, bidding goodbye to players, staff, directors and collaborators with an emotional farewell," Pachuca said in a statement on Wednesday. Almada led Pachuca to 72 wins, 39 draws and 45 losses after taking charge of the club in December 2021. The 58-year-old guided the club to the 2022 Liga MX Apertura title, the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup and a runner-up finish to Real Madrid at the 2024 Intercontinental Cup. "Today I close a wonderful stage of my life, and I do so with a heart overflowing with gratitude," said Almada. Pachuca will begin its Club World Cup campaign against Red Bull Salzburg in Cincinnati on June 18 before also facing Al-Hilal and Real Madrid in the group stage. UNI/XINHUA BM

Pachuca vs América: Tight Draw in First Leg of Liga MX Quarterfinals
The Estadio Hidalgo in Pachuca was the stage for a tense and tactical battle as Pachuca and Club América locked horns in the first leg of their Liga MX Clausura 2025 Liguilla (playoff) quarterfinal tie on May 7th, 2025. The match concluded in a 0-0 draw, leaving everything to play for in the return leg at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes in Mexico City. The encounter was characterized by a cautious approach from both sides, keenly aware of the stakes in this crucial playoff fixture. Pachuca, playing at home, looked to assert their dominance early on, but found a well-organized Club América defense difficult to break down. Conversely, América, one of the top teams in the Liga MX Clausura regular season, aimed to secure an away goal that would give them a significant advantage heading into the second leg. The first half saw both teams create limited clear-cut chances. Pachuca's Salomon Rondon was a focal point in their attack, using his physicality to try and trouble the América backline. However, the Venezuelan forward was closely marked by Sebastián Cáceres and Igor Lichnovsky, who effectively nullified his aerial threat and limited his opportunities inside the box. América, on the other hand, relied on the creativity of Diego Valdés and the pace of Julián Quiñones to penetrate the Pachuca defense. However, the home side's defensive unit, marshaled by Gustavo Cabral and Sergio Barreto, remained resolute, intercepting passes and clearing any dangerous crosses into their area. The midfield battle was intense, with both teams vying for control of possession. Pachuca's Erick Sánchez and Jesús Montiel worked tirelessly to win back the ball and launch attacks, while América's Jonathan dos Santos and Álvaro Fidalgo provided a solid shield for their defense and looked to dictate the tempo of the game. As the first half wore on, the number of fouls began to increase, reflecting the physical nature of the contest. Referee Fernando Guerrero had to issue yellow cards to Pachuca's Jorge Berlanga and Eduardo Mustre, as well as América's Víctor Dávila and Sebastián Cáceres, in an attempt to maintain control of the match. The second half followed a similar pattern, with both teams struggling to find the decisive breakthrough. Pachuca coach Guillermo Almada made substitutions, bringing on players like Alexei Domínguez and John Kennedy to inject fresh energy into their attack. América's André Jardine also made changes, introducing Rodrigo Aguirre and Javairô Dilrosun to try and unlock the Pachuca defense. Despite the tactical adjustments, neither side could find the back of the net. The goalkeepers, Carlos Moreno for Pachuca and Luis Ángel Malagón for América, were called into action on a few occasions, but both remained solid and ensured a clean sheet for their respective teams. The final minutes of the match saw a flurry of activity, with both teams pushing for a late winner. Pachuca had a couple of dangerous crosses into the box, but América's defense held firm. América also had a late opportunity in stoppage time, but their shot was well-saved by Moreno. Ultimately, the first leg ended in a 0-0 stalemate, setting up a potentially thrilling return leg at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes. América will have the advantage of playing at home, but Pachuca will be determined to overturn the aggregate score and secure their place in the Liga MX semifinals. The draw reflects the tight nature of the encounter and the tactical discipline shown by both teams. While Pachuca will be slightly disappointed not to have secured a home victory, they will take heart from their solid defensive performance. América, meanwhile, will be content with a clean sheet on the road and will look to capitalize on their home advantage in the second leg. Football fans can expect another intense and closely fought battle when these two sides meet again to decide who will advance to the next stage of the Liga MX Clausura 2025 playoffs. The second leg promises to be a captivating affair, with both Pachuca and Club América knowing that their season hangs in the balance. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
