Tigres 1-3 América – The Eagles soar in their ‘second home’ 🦅 | OneFootball

América secures a very important away victory against Tigres

First half:

André Jardine decided to change the formation for this match, using a five-man defensive line; Israel Reyes acted as a sweeper.

4′ Tigres Goal – Diego Lainez sends a low cross back to Brunetta, who was completely unmarked and scored the first goal.

16′ Tigres close – Ozziel's shot goes just wide of the post.

The three-man line André Jardine set up did not work; Tigres was finding gaps in América's defense with ease.

At times, América took control of the game, but as has become customary, their attack was very predictable, as everything ended with a cross into the box.

39′ AMÉRICA GOAL – Great pass from Zendejas to Cristian Borja, who heads the ball back across goal and 'Chiquito' Sánchez appears to tie the match.

Second half:

The second half began with the opponent having total possession of the ball and América well positioned defensively, looking for a counterattack to turn the game around.

57 AMÉRICA GOAL – Lethal counterattack by the Águilas, ending with a pass from Brian Rodríguez to 'Chiquito' Sánchez, who finished to make it 2-1.

60′ Substitutions – Off: Álvaro Fidalgo and Brian Rodríguez – On: Alan Cervantes and Rodrigo Aguirre.

64′ América is saved! – Great save by Luis Malagón after a free kick in which the wall opened up, letting the ball through.

68′ AMÉRICA GOAL! – Cross from Alejandro Zendejas that Nahuel Guzmán ends up deflecting into his own net.

A very smart second half by América; with the score tied, they prioritized defense, looking to surprise on the counterattack, and it worked out almost perfectly.

75′ Substitutions – Off: Sebastián Cáceres and José Zúñiga – On: Igor Lichnovsky and Isaías Violante.

81′ Substitution – Off: Dagoberto Espinoza – On: Kevin Álvarez.

The Estadio Universitario has already become a second home for Club América; in their last 10 matches there, the Águilas have won five and lost only once.

A very important victory for Club América; they ended Tigres' unbeaten run and also managed to get into the fight for the overall lead, staying just one point behind the leader, Pachuca.

América's next match will be away against Atlas next Saturday.
