América 1-2 Juárez – América’s crisis goes on | OneFootball

América suffers its fourth defeat of the tournament and drops out of the playoff zone.

This was América's starting eleven: Luis Malagón, Sebastián Cáceres, Ramón Juárez, Aarón Mejía, Thiago Espinosa, Rodrigo Dourado, Jonathan dos Santos, Raphael Veiga, Erick Sánchez, Víctor Dávila, and José Zúñiga.

5′ Goal by Juárez – In the first dangerous play, the opponent took the lead; Aarón Mejía set up the play down the right wing and Luis Malagón was caught out of position. Jairo Torres took advantage to make it 0-1.

Terrible start to the match for the Águilas, and not just because the opponent opened the scoring; they actually started playing better, with ball possession and constant attacks in the box.

22′ Goal disallowed for América – Víctor Dávila had tied the match after a good team play, but it was ruled out for offside.

35′ Víctor Dávila goes off injured – Dávila controlled a ball in the opponent's box and, as he did so, landed awkwardly and hurt his knee. It looks serious, but until tests are done we can't say anything for sure.

35′ Substitution – Out: Víctor Dávila – In: Patricio Salas.

45′ América comes close! – Patricio Salas was left alone in front of the goalkeeper after a great pass from Zúñiga, but he struck it poorly and sent it over the bar.

A first half to forget; a terrible game with the opponent being better, missing a clear chance in front of goal, a disallowed goal, and what seems to be a serious injury to Víctor Dávila.

45′ Substitution – Out: Ramón Juárez – In: Alejandro Zendejas

51′ América comes close! – Raphael Veiga's shot just missed the goal.

66′ Substitutions – Out: Erick Sánchez and Thiago Espinosa – In: Alexis Gutiérrez and Cristian Borja.

68′ GOAL FOR AMÉRICA – Alejandro Zendejas tied the match after an assist from Raphael Veiga.

82′ Substitution – Out: José Zúñiga – In: Brian Rodríguez

92′ Goal by Juárez – Guilherme Castilho scored the winning goal for the opponent.

Just when it seemed the Águilas had everything to win the match, the opponent managed to take the victory right in the final minutes.

It was a positive second half for América, and with Zendejas' goal the win seemed close, but once again missed chances in front of goal and defensive doubts ended up costing them dearly.

América's next match will be this Saturday away to Querétaro for matchday 10 of the Clausura 2026.
