History
After Cruz Azul would win the title in the Segunda División de México during the season 1963-64 and was able to gain promotion into top flight football, they would face América during week 13 on 30 August 1964 in the stadium 10 de Diciembre where the score ended 2-1 with a victory for the "azulcrema". In just a couple of years had important wins and in 1971 they decided to move to Mexico City and play at Estadio Azteca, actual stadium of América.[2] Years later these club had great matches in which Cruz Azul became the team of the 1970s, where they earned the nickname"La Maquina", and América the best of the 1980s.
This rivalry became a true derby during the season 1971-72 where the teams played each other in the final and the "cementeros" came out with a convincing victory of 14-1,[2] this result hit hard for the americanistas since Cruz Azul also knocked them out of Copa México the same season.
América were able to redeem some dignati in Copa México 1973 where they were able to defeat Cruz Azul in an aggregate score of 3-2 with two goals by Osvaldo Castro "Pata Bendita" and one by Roberto Hodge. But the most significant rematch for América was the final during the season 1988-89, where "Águilas" rose to victory with a first leg score of 3-2 and second leg score of 2-2 which the aggregate score came to be 5-4 with a decisive gol by Carlos Hermosillo who years later would be considered an idol for the "celestes" wining three Goalscoring titles during the years 1993-1996.
