América, coached by André Jardine, finds itself in an unusual position during the Clausura 2026 season of Liga MX, currently sitting tenth in the league table with only eight points from two wins, two draws, and two losses. The team's performance has been alarming, particularly regarding their offensive capabilities, as they have scored only three goals, making them the least effective offense in the tournament. This underperformance marks a concerning start for a club of América's stature.

The team's goals have mostly come from a few key matches, including their encounters against Necaxa in Matchday 4, where Brian Rodríguez and Víctor Dávila contributed to their scoring, and in Matchday 5, Alejandro Zendejas managed to net the ball for their second consecutive win against Monterrey. A notable concern for the team is their inability to score while playing away from home, further compounding the difficulties they face in the league.

In the opening matches of the season, América had a draw against Tijuana, followed by a loss of 2-0 to Atlético de San Luis, and yet another goalless draw against Pachuca. The current situation raises questions about the team's tactics and strategies going forward, especially as they strive to reclaim their competitive edge in Liga MX amid mounting pressures to perform better.
