3′ AMÉRICA GOAL – Brian Rodríguez stays red-hot after his brace against Toluca and quickly opened the scoring against León.

20′ América survives! – A powerful shot by Díaz is well saved by Rodolfo Cota.

América had about 20 very good minutes, but as the match went on, León began to take control of possession and gradually pushed América back into their own box.

35′ León goal – Cambindo pulls one back for the opposition with a shot from inside the six-yard box.

45′ León goal – Beltrán leveled the match with a stunning goal.

León’s equalizer had been coming; América was far too passive after taking the lead, and León took perfect advantage to tie the match.
