Atletico San Luis vs. Club America: How to watch Liga MX, TV channel, live stream

América is looking to start the 2024 Apertura off on the right foot

Club América will be looking to continue its Liga MX dominance as it begins the 2024 Apertura season on the road against Atlético San Luis.

Las Águilas won both the 2023 Apertura and 2024 Clausura seasons, but in these early stages of the Liga MX season, international call-ups may cause some hiccups.

Regulars Sebastián Cáceres and Brian Rodríguez are still with Uruguay at the 2024 Copa América.

Mexico pair Israel Reyes and Érick Sánchez, Chile duo Igor Lichnovsky and Diego Valdés, and midfielder Richard Sánchez (Paraguay) may all be back, but given how recently they were playing intense matches with their national teams, their availability is uncertain.

San Luis, meanwhile, will be hoping this season resembles the Apertura from last year.

Head coach Domènec Torrent will make his debut for a club that finished in 13th out of 18 teams in the most recent Clausura campaign, but San Luis’ Apertura saw the club advance to the Liguilla and stun Monterrey before a semifinal aggregate defeat at América’s hands.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

David Ochoa gets himself run out of another club

The 22-year-old has left Liga MX side Atlético San Luis in acrimonious fashion

Once again, David Ochoa is leaving a club in acrimonious fashion.

Liga MX side Atlético San Luis announced Tuesday that they had released the 22-year-old goalkeeper amid reports of indiscipline.

The club’s release seemed to confirm something had gone awry, saying: “As a club, our main objective is to transcend by respecting and putting institutional values first by promoting respect, professionalism, ethics and commitment of all our collaborators, as well as having a positive impact inside and outside the community.”

Ochoa made just one senior appearance for the club after signing in November 2022.

The goalkeeper seems to be making a habit of burning bridges, with his time at Real Salt Lake blighted by a tumultuous 2022 season.

Ochoa rose to prominence in 2021, becoming RSL’s starter and leading the club on a memorable run through the playoffs. But things quickly soured last year, as the goalkeeper lost his starting job and then was banished to the club’s reserves due to disciplinary issues.

“[Ochoa] was tardy a couple times, and just training habits weren’t up to par,” RSL head coach Pablo Mastroeni told ESPN last year. “At that point, we had quite a few conversations about being a professional footballer. It’s not always about starting. It’s about understanding how to conduct yourself within a club. We have club rules, we have team rules, locker rules, and you have to abide by those, regardless of who you are, or what you did last year.”

Ochoa was traded to D.C. United at midseason. He would make nine appearances before leaving at the end of the season when his contract expired.

In 2021, Ochoa announced he was committing his international future to Mexico. The California-born goalkeeper had previously represented the U.S. and Mexico at various youth levels. Ochoa has received senior call-ups for both countries, but has yet to earn his first senior cap.
