América 1-1 Tigres – Stalemate in friendly | OneFootball

América drew against Tigres in a friendly match played in the United States.

América’s lineup: Rodolfo Cota, Ramón Juárez, Miguel Vázquez, Kevin Álvarez, Cristian Borja, Jonathan dos Santos, Alan Cervantes, Alexis Gutiérrez, Vinícius Lima, Raúl Zúñiga, and Raphael Veiga.

It was a very even match in the opening minutes, but América was taking too many risks when playing out from the back; Rodolfo Cota was not sharp and came close on several occasions to gifting the opponent a goal.

13′ América close! – A shot from ‘Pantera’ Zúñiga crashes off the post.

32′ América escapes! – After a team play, Brunetta went through one-on-one against Cota, but the América goalkeeper won the duel.

42′ Tigres threaten! – A mistake by Ramón Juárez nearly ended in a goal for the opponent.

It was a very poor first half, with América having more possession but spending most of the time in their own half, while the opponent was simply looking for a mistake in América’s buildup to create a scoring chance.

45′ Substitutions – Off: Raphael Veiga, Jonathan dos Santos, and Rodolfo Cota – On: Patricio Salas, Rodrigo Dourado, and Fernando Tapia.

50′ América close! – ‘Pantera’ Zúñiga got a free header after a free kick, but it was very weak.

57′ AMÉRICA GOAL! – ‘Pantera’ Zúñiga opens the scoring after a great pass from Patricio Salas.

61′ Substitutions – Off: Cristian Borja and Miguel Vázquez – On: Thiago Espinosa and Néstor Araujo.

77′ Tigres goal disallowed – The opponent had equalized after a poor play out from the back by Fernando Tapia, but it was ruled out for offside.

81′ Substitutions – Off: Alexis Gutiérrez and Kevin Álvarez – On: Santiago Naveda and Aarón Mejía.

Aside from the goal, which came from a great team play by América, it was a very poor second half from the azulcremas. Tigres took control of the match.

83′ Tigres goal – A header by Brunetta leveled the match.

88′ Substitution – Off: Vinícius Lima – On: Diego Arriaga.

88′ América goal disallowed – Patricio Salas had made it 2-1, but the referee decided to disallow it because he considered the ball had gone out beforehand. Wrongly disallowed goal.

In the end, the match finished in a draw, in a game that had a few bright moments from América but was generally quite poor. Worth highlighting is Patricio Salas’s assist to open the scoring. On the other hand, Fernando Tapia left quite a few doubts in his first 45 minutes with Las Águilas.

América’s next match will be on Saturday, April 4, against Santos.
