América 1-0 Monterrey – Third win on the bounce for Las Águilas | OneFootball

América defeated Monterrey by the minimum in a match they dominated from start to finish.

These were the 11 who started the match: Luis Malagón, Kevin Álvarez, Sebastián Cáceres, Israel Reyes, Cristian Borja, Jonathan dos Santos, Rodrigo Dourado, Erick Sánchez, Alejandro Zendejas, Brian Rodríguez, and Henry Martín.

15′ Close for América – Henry Martín went alone against the goalkeeper after a mistake by the rival defender, but he hesitated and ended up losing the ball.

20’ Another one for América! – A shot from outside the area by Erick Sánchez that the rival goalkeeper saved brilliantly.

A first half with América being better, but at the same time with little precision in the offensive zone; Henry Martín was very active, but he seemed out of rhythm.

48′ The clearest chance for América! – Brian Rodríguez with a great individual play, but his shot went just wide of the goal.

62′ Another one! – Kevin Álvarez was left alone in front of the goalkeeper, but his shot was very off target.

63′ GOAL FOR AMÉRICA! – Alejandro Zendejas with an individual play opens the score.

It was more than fair that the eagles had the lead on the scoreboard; many chances, but the lack of precision in front of the goal kept the match tied at zero goals.

66′ Substitutions – Out: Henry Martín and Erick Sánchez – In: Víctor Dávila and Raphael Veiga.

72′ Veiga close to his first goal! – Great shot by Raphael Veiga from outside the area that was heading into the goal, but the rival goalkeeper managed to deflect the ball.

77′ Substitution – Out: Alejandro Zendejas due to injury – In: Alexis Gutiérrez.

An interesting debut for Raphael Veiga, with a lot of participation, attempting several shots from outside the area and with first-touch passes.

A match that should have ended without any problem with a landslide victory for América, but between the lack of finishing and the good performance of the rival goalkeeper, it ended just 1-0.

América's next match will be hosting Olimpia from Honduras on Wednesday the 11th in the return leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16.
