Pumas (6) 3-3 (6) América – the Eagles go out | OneFootball

América were clearly superior to Pumas, but they paid dearly for gifting away three goals in the first half, and despite their constant attacks, they were unable to get the win.

This was América’s starting lineup: Rodolfo Cota, Kevin Álvarez, Miguel Vázquez, Ramón Juárez, Dagoberto Espinoza, Jonathan dos Santos, Erick Sánchez, Alejandro Zendejas, Isaías Violante, Brian Rodríguez, and Patricio Salas.

2′ América survive – Juninho’s shot is cleared off the line by Dagoberto Espinoza.

3′ Pumas goal – A shot hits the post; the rebound falls to Duarte, and he takes advantage to open the scoring.

12′ Pumas goal – Nathan Silva wins a corner kick to score the opponent’s second.

22′ Pumas goal – Carrillo scored the opponent’s third.

Not much to say; América started the match asleep, and the defense simply did not exist. They gave far too many chances to an opponent that did not need to do much to score.

29′ AMÉRICA GOAL – Patricio Salas pulls one back for the team after a corner kick.

América improved after conceding Pumas’ third goal and managed to react more through determination than football, but at least we were already seeing a better version of América.

39′ AMÉRICA GOAL – Alejandro Zendejas converts the penalty to bring América closer.

45′ Disallowed goal for América – Las Águilas had equalized the match, but the referee decided to rule it out for offside.

45′ Substitution – On: Henry Martín – Off: Patricio Salas.

60′ AMÉRICA GOAL – Alejandro Zendejas tied the match with a header from inside the six-yard box.

An absolutely dominant América, constantly threatening the opponent’s goal and pressing all over the field; the complete opposite of the team we saw during the first 20 minutes of the match.

74′ Substitutions – On: Vinícius Lima, Raphael Veiga, and Rodrigo Dourado – Off: Erick Sánchez, Dagoberto Espinoza, and Jonathan dos Santos.

86′ Henry Martín missed a penalty – The referee awarded a penalty due to a foul on Ramón Juárez, but Henry Martín hit his shot off the post.

89′ Substitution – On: Néstor Araujo – Off: Kevin Álvarez.

In the end, Henry Martín’s penalty ended up deciding the tie; a shame, but it reflects what his last year and a half with América has been like.

América were eliminated due to their position in the table.
