Club America will make its fifth Copa Libertadores appearance after outlasting Tigres UANL on penalty kicks Saturday following a tense battle in the InterLiga finale at The Home Depot Center.
To the delight of the sellout crowd of 27,000, goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa saved two spot kicks and the Aguilas pulled out a 4-2 triumph in the tiebreaker after a largely mundane 120 minutes of scoreless soccer in the second InterLiga final to capture Mexico's No. 3 Libertadores berth
