Clásico Capitalino
Clásico Capitalino ( German capital derby ) is the name for the city derby between the Mexico City- based football clubs Club América and UNAM Pumas . Together with city rivals Cruz Azul , both clubs belong to the three big clubs in the capital football of Mexico , whose direct clashes are called Clásico Joven (America vs Cruz Azul) and Clásico Chilango (UNAM Pumas vs Cruz Azul). While Cruz Azul's home, the Estadio Azul , is located in the Delegación Benito Juárez , the stadiums of América ( Aztec Stadium ) and Pumas ( Estadio Olímpico Universitario ) are located in the further south of Coyoacán . The immediate vicinity between America and Pumas explains the special rivalry between the two clubs and their sometimes violent fans have made this encounter a particularly critical risk game , which is considered one of the most critical games on the American continent and the most explosive encounter in the Mexican league.
history
The older Club América was founded in 1916 and is both record champions of the Mexican league and the CONCACAF Champions League . In the beginning, his team consisted exclusively of Mexican players, which meant that he was immediately accepted by the local audience despite moderate sporting performance, but later changed to a wealthy club owned by Televisa , which acquired numerous foreign players. In its early days it was still considered a cross-class people's association with fans in all social classes, but later it became a supposed representative of the upper class and is perceived by its opponents as a “bonz club”. Regardless, he should still have most of the capital's fans behind him.
The UNAM Pumas were not founded until 1954 and rose to the top division in the summer of 1962 , of which Club America was one of the founding members in 1943. In its early years, the university team had little popularity and little acceptance outside the university campus, especially since the athletic performance initially left a lot to be desired. Their acceptance by the capital city public only developed with the onset of success from the 1970s. Due to their background as a team at the National Autonomous University of Mexico , the Pumas are traditionally regarded as an association of intellectuals and the middle class; while the third city club, Cruz Azul, sports club of the cement factory of the same name, is considered the darling of the poorer classes of the population.
The first resentment on the part of the then relatively no Pumas fan community drew the Club America in 1969 to when he Pumas striker Enrique Borja committed in a row in the early 1970s with his new club three times top scorer in the Mexican league and became one of the great idols of America's fans.
The Pumas' irrefutable enmity with America came about in the 1984/85 season at the latest, at the end of which both clubs faced each other in the finals. The decisive third game was won by América 3-1 due to some wrong decisions by the referee. The next final encounter at the end of the 1987/88 season was won by Club America, while the last direct final encounter in the 1990/91 season ended with a success for the Pumas.
