Telemundo to Present FUTBOL ESTELAR: PACHUCA VS AMERICA, 3/7

Telemundo presents Pachuca vs. América in Week 9 of the Liga MX Torneo Clausura, live from Pachuca, Hidalgo, this Saturday, March 7 at 9PM/8C/6PT. Award-winning sportscaster Andrés Cantor will bring viewers all the details of this compelling match alongside former Chivas de Guadalajara star player Manuel Sol and three-time leading Mexican scorer and member of Club América's triple champion 1980s team, Carlos Hermosillo.

If statistics are anything to go by, Pachuca vs. Club América is a pairing that guarantees goals: No game between the two teams has ended in a tie since Week 11 of Torneo Clausura 2010. They have played each other 11 times since then in both regular season and liguilla play, resulting in 5 victories for Pachuca and 6 for América. Going all the way back to Apertura 2002, Hidalgo has an overwhelming lead: In 26 games versus Club América in regular league championship play, it has 13 wins, compared to 7 for its opponent and 6 ties.

A win this time could catapult Pachuca upward in The League standings and put it just one point away from Club América. In their last game, in Week 8, Diego Alonso's men played a well-strategized game against Tijuana, even though the Xolos rallied after being down 2-nothing to win the match 3-2.

For its part, Club América went 5 games straight without a loss, including a 5-0 victory over the Jaguares at Mexico City's Estadio Azteca and a 1-0 win in an away game against Pumas, until the Leones Negros ended this streak, defeating América 1-0 at Estadio Azteca in Week 8.

Saturday's game will also air live on DeportesTelemundo.com digital platforms, the Deportes Telemundo EN VIVO EXTRA mobile app, and play by play on Twitter: @telemundosports.
