América mantiene su dominio: la ‘maldición’ de Xolos sigue viva en la Liga MX
If there's one thing consistent in Liga MX over the past decade, it's Club América's dominance over Tijuana. And once again, the "curse" left behind by Antonio Mohamed has proven too heavy for Xolos to shake off. This time, in a spirited clash on July 16th to open Jornada 2 of the Apertura 2025, América walked away with a 3-1 victory at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes—prolonging a streak that now stretches over 12 games without a Tijuana win in Mexico City.
The match started with América eager to get their first win of the tournament after drawing against FC Juárez in their opener. From the beginning, they applied pressure, and that determination paid off when Brian Rodríguez coolly converted a penalty to open the scoring in the first half. But Xolos, who had come in riding high from a win over Querétaro, weren’t going down easily. In the second half, Ramiro Árciga found the net to level the game and give the visitors a spark of hope.
That hope was quickly extinguished.

Let’s not forget: it was back in the Apertura 2012 that Antonio Mohamed guided Tijuana to their one and only Liga MX title. Ironically, that same tournament was the last time Xolos managed to beat América on the road in league play. Since then, it’s been a wall of azulcrema results. Twelve matches in Mexico City—ten wins for América, two draws, zero victories for Tijuana.
Even a momentary scare from weather conditions—a lightning storm caused a pause in the second half—couldn’t disrupt the course of history. The 'Gato' Ortiz resumed play, and América simply tightened their grip on the match.
With this victory, América positions themselves strongly ahead of their Campeón de Campeones clash against Toluca. Meanwhile, Tijuana is left wondering what it will take to finally reverse the script that seems to have been written in stone over a decade ago.
So, the ‘maldición’ lives on. Another year, another defeat in the capital. For Xolos, the road to redemption is still under construction, while América continues to assert its dominance like clockwork.
