América’s stunning goal against León everyone’s talking about | OneFootball

América earned its second consecutive win of the tournament after defeating León in a very hard-fought match in which we witnessed a couple of stunning goals, one from each team.

But the goal that stood out the most was ‘Chiquito’ Sánchez’s, and not just because it was a powerful strike from outside the box, but above all because of how it was built.

There were 14 passes starting from their own goal, with several players involved, with Raphael Veiga dropping deep on several occasions to help in the passing sequence, and Alejandro Zendejas carrying the ball forward before laying it off to Cristian Borja, who then sent a diagonal pass just outside the box so that ‘Chiquito’ Sánchez could arrive completely unmarked and finish.

It was a goal that reminded us of that three-time champion América side: lots of touches from their own half and a top-level finish.

Hopefully, with this attacking trio made up of Raphael Veiga, Brian Rodríguez, and Alejandro Zendejas, we’ll get to see more plays like this.
