Las Águilas took the lead shortly before the break at the Estadio Azteca, but it was only as a result of a rash challenge in the Puebla penalty area.

Roger Martínez, who was clearly fouled, composed himself before sending goalkeeper Antony Silva the wrong way with the spot kick.

Salvador Reyes doubled the Azulcrema’s advantage early in the second half when he put the finishing touch to a low cross from Luis Fuentes.

The hosts had chances to extend their lead, but were happy to settle for what they had already accomplished.

América have now collected seven points from their opening three 2021 Apertura games, while Los Camoteros have just one point from the same timeframe.
