The full officiating team
Enedina Caudillo and Óscar Yahir Barriga will serve as assistant referees one and two, respectively. Mario Terrazas Chávez is appointed as the fourth official, with Óscar Macías Romo and Michel Caballero Galicia operating the VAR system. The match comes at a time of positive momentum for both sides. Puebla arrives on the back of two consecutive wins, placing them fifth in the overall standings, while América is the outright leader with thirteen points from a possible fifteen.
The historical record at the capital's stadium is heavily in favor of the Águilas. In the thirty previous meetings at the Banorte, formerly the Azteca, Club Puebla has managed only four victories. The hosts have won fifteen times, with eleven draws. The last time the Franja defeated América on their home turf was in the Apertura 2024, with a goal from Raúl Castillo when the team was coached by José Manuel 'Chepo' de la Torre.
This match represents a significant challenge for Puebla, who will aim to break an unfavorable streak at their rival's ground. A positive result could solidify their place in the upper reaches of the league table. The fixture is scheduled for the sixth matchday of the tournament, at a stadium that always presents a difficult setting for visitors. Central referee Pérez Villalobos will have the task of managing a high-intensity clash between two in-form teams.
