The two-legged final that defined the winner in the Mexican soccer championship was the most-watched game in the United States from December 16 to 26.

The last two weeks of 2019 were packed with great sporting events. Some of the big games were Barcelona against Real Madrid, Liverpool against Wolves and Spurs against Chelsea, but the most-watched game for the soccer lovers in the United States was the final game of La Liga MX for the Apertura 2019 between America and Monterrey.

The game that had the most audience was the second leg final that Monterrey ended up beating America for the trophy with more than 3 million viewers. The second most-watched game was the first leg between both teams which had a little more than 1.3 million viewers. The rest of the games in the Top 20 didn’t reach the million views.
