América 0-2 San Luis – The Eagles still can’t get off the ground | OneFootball

América's home debut was disastrous, and they leave with a painful defeat that leaves them with only one point out of six contested.

This was the lineup André Jardine sent out: Luis Malagón, Kevin Álvarez, Israel Reyes, Ramón Juárez, Cristian Borja, Rodrigo Dourado, Álvaro Fidalgo, Alexis Gutiérrez, Allan Saint-Maximin, Patricio Salas, and Rodrigo Aguirre.

2′ San Luis is saved! – Great play by Saint-Maximin, who left the ball for the ‘Búfalo’ to shoot at goal, but the ball crashed against the post.

19′ Red card for Ramón Juárez – The referee decided to send off the América defender for a foul on the opponent, who was going alone towards the goal. Watching the replay, the contact was minimal, showing that the opponent let himself fall.

24′ Substitution – Out: Patricio Salas – In: Sebastián Cáceres.

After the sending off, the roles changed and Atlético de San Luis began to take control of the match, but curiously, this allowed América to have more dangerous chances; within minutes, Allan Saint-Maximin created a couple of plays that came close to the goal.

45′ Substitutions – Out: Rodrigo Aguirre and Alexis Gutiérrez – In: Isaías Violante and José Zúñiga.

46′ América is saved! – Torres was left completely alone just outside the six-yard box, but just as he took his shot, Cristian Borja appeared to prevent the goal.

52′ Goal for San Luis – Cross from Torres to the far post that found Sanabria completely unmarked, who headed it in to make it 0-1.

66′ Goal for San Luis – Joao Pedro managed to turn around with three defenders on him inside the box, and with a toe poke, scored the second.

68′ Substitutions – Out: Cristian Borja and Allan Saint-Maximin – In: Víctor Dávila and Brian Rodríguez.

A terrible start to the tournament for América. After the lackluster performance in the first match against Xolos, an improvement was expected in this game, but it simply did not happen.

The level of several players is very concerning; we continue to see the same problems as last tournament, with a team that is ineffective offensively and depends on a spark from Allan Saint-Maximin, who is still not at the expected level.

The next match will be Sunday, visiting Pachuca at the Estadio Hidalgo.
