The day Miguel Layún put four past Santos | OneFootball

Miguel Layún experienced two stints with Club América, but without a doubt, the first one was both the best and the worst at the same time.

When he first arrived at América, his initial tournaments were quite poor, even becoming the target of criticism on social media with the famous hashtag ‘Everything is Layún’s fault‘, and he also suffered constant personal attacks as many pointed to him as one of the main culprits for the team's poor performance.

But after receiving psychological help, the player gradually left all that behind, working hard and even ending up as captain and champion, playing a fundamental role in this achievement.

And without a doubt, his best match with the Águilas was on September 27, 2014 when he scored four goals in a single match against Santos Laguna, being the first and only time he achieved this in his career.

Additionally, all the goals were scored in different ways; the first with a finish in the six-yard box after a corner kick, the second by taking advantage of a mistake by Oswaldo Sánchez to shoot from three-quarters of the field, the third after an assist from Michael Arroyo, and the fourth after an assist from Oribe Peralta.

This match was without a doubt one of the team's best, and also one of his last in his first stint with América, as he later left for European football.
