Nashville 0-0 América – all to play for at Estadio Azteca | OneFootball

América drew 0-0 away at Nashville in a very tight match with few scoring chances for either side.

This was América’s starting XI: Rodolfo Cota, Israel Reyes, Sebastián Cáceres, Ramón Juárez, Miguel Vázquez, Rodrigo Dourado, Erick Sánchez, Raphael Veiga, Isaías Violante, Alejandro Zendejas, and Patricio Salas.

The match began with América on the defensive and Nashville playing with great intensity, pressing the team’s buildup and getting close on several occasions to the area defended by Rodolfo Cota.

30′ América’s first chance! – A good play by Veiga ends with a shot by Zendejas on goal.

As the minutes went by, América settled better on the field and managed to shake off the constant pressure from the opponent.

A first half in which the opponent was slightly better, but Las Águilas also created chances and managed to control the match after withstanding 15–20 minutes of constant pressure from the rival.

Unlike what happened in the first half, América came out more defensive in the second half, and for several minutes allowed the opponent to take control of the ball and create the game’s dangerous plays.

73′ Substitution – Off: Raphael Veiga – On: José Zúñiga.

The match entered a phase with a lot of physical battles in midfield, with neither team able to take control of the game and without a single shot on target from either side.

90′ Substitutions – Off: Isaías Violante, Erick Sánchez, and Alejandro Zendejas – On: Jonathan dos Santos, Vinícius Lima, and Aarón Mejía.

A draw that is positive since it came away from home, but it is worth remembering that the main tiebreaker is away goals, and América leaves without a single one.

The second leg will be played on Tuesday the 14th at 09:30 PM at the Estadio Azteca.
