Puebla 0-4 América – The Eagles soar in Puebla | OneFootball

América crushes Puebla 4-0 at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc to recover after the tough defeat in the classic.

This was América's starting 11: Luis Malagón, Israel Reyes, Miguel Vázquez, Aarón Mejía, Cristian Borja, Rodrigo Dourado, Erick Sánchez, Raphael Veiga, Brian Rodríguez, Isaías Violante, and Henry Martín.

10′ América is saved! – Esteban Lozano had everything to open the score, but a slide tackle from Miguel Vázquez prevented the rival's first goal.

A rather complicated start for América; Puebla's offense was easily getting behind the midfield; Rodrigo Dourado was the only defensive midfielder and was often overwhelmed in several plays.

After that intense start by the rival, the eagles began to take control of the ball and gradually started creating chances in the opponent's area, although with little precision in front of the goal.

Isaías Violante and Aarón Mejía were not on the same page on the right wing; Violante didn't pass the ball to Mejía whenever he was supporting him on the right side. Meanwhile, on the right side, they had Brian Rodríguez double-marked and therefore, he continuously sought Cristian Borja.

43′ GOAL FOR AMÉRICA! – Great cross from Isaías Violante finds Raphael Veiga alone in the area, who scores his first goal as an América player.

45′ Close for América! – Violante finds the ball inside the area after a diagonal pass from Brian, but his shot goes way off target.

60′ GOAL FOR AMÉRICA! – Isaías Violante scores the second goal for the eagles after a great cut inside the area.

The best match for Isaías Violante since he joined Club América without a doubt; he had some plays where he made poor decisions, but overall he had a very good game.

On the opposite wing, Brian Rodríguez did not have his best match, very erratic and even missed a clear chance in front of the goal due to poor ball control.

73′ Substitutions – Out: Erick Sánchez, Henry Martín, and Raphael Veiga – In: Vinicius Lima, Jonathan dos Santos, and Víctor Dávila.

78′ GOAL FOR AMÉRICA – Cross from Brian Rodríguez that Vinicius Lima controls with his chest, and the ball falls perfectly for Víctor Dávila to score the third for the eagles.

82′ Substitutions – Out: Brian Rodríguez and Isaías Violante – In: Patricio Salas and José Zúñiga.

86′ GOAL FOR AMÉRICA! – Great through pass from Patricio Salas to leave ‘Pantera’ Zúñiga alone, who scored the fourth for the eagles.

América wins again and does so convincingly and once more without conceding a goal, in a victory that will give the team a lot of motivation after the poor start to the tournament they have had.

With this victory, the team reaches 11 points and is currently in sixth place in the overall standings.

América's next match will be hosting Tigres at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes on Saturday, February 28.
