At half-time in Monterrey, following the events in Querétaro, the Eagles released the following message on their social media channels:

“Club América regrets what happened in Querétaro. Football is passion and you live with the family. The sport and the rivalry stays on the pitch.

“The priority always has to be the safety of the fans and the clubs.”
