América 3-0 Santos – América cruise to big home win | OneFootball

Americanista victory at home against Santos in a match they dominated from start to finish.

First half:

André Jardine had to make a change right before the start of the match due to an injury to Sebastián Cáceres; Alan Cervantes came in for him, leaving Israel Reyes as central defender.

A very interesting start to the match by the Águilas, with Alejandro Zendejas leading the Americanista attack and Israel Reyes surprising with several runs into the box to provide support.

Although América was dominating possession and goal-scoring opportunities during this first half, the first real threat came from Santos with a completely unmarked header by Ocejo, which was brilliantly saved by Malagón.

30′ Substitution – Out: Allan Saint Maximin due to injury – In: Brian Rodríguez.

A shame about Allan's injury, but it was expected after the hard hit he received from Haret Ortega, which was punished with a yellow card.

32′ Substitution – Out: José Zúñiga due to injury – In: Rodrigo Aguirre

36′ América close! – Shot by Brian Rodríguez saved by Acevedo, but the rebound fell to Alexis Gutiérrez who headed it, but Ortega cleared the ball off the line.

37′ GOAL FOR AMÉRICA – Rodrigo Aguirre opened the scoring after an assist from Alejandro Zendejas.

45′ Goal disallowed for América – Rodrigo Aguirre had scored the second, but the referee decided to go to VAR to review a supposed foul by Ramón that happened 20 seconds earlier.

A very eventful start to the match for the Águilas; Jonathan dos Santos, Henry Martín, and Álvaro Fidalgo were ruled out due to injury, Sebastián Cáceres got injured during warm-up, Allan Saint-Maximin went out in the 27th minute, and José Zúñiga was injured in the 32nd.

Second half:

52′ América close! – Shot by Alexis Gutiérrez that just missed the top corner.

56′ Another chance for América! – Great through ball from Brian Rodríguez to ‘Chiquito’ Sánchez, who shot with his left foot and just missed the goal.

60′ Goal disallowed for América – Alexis Gutiérrez had scored the second but was ruled offside.

62′ GOAL FOR AMÉRICA – Brian Rodríguez with a volley for the 2-0 over Santos.

67′ Another chance for América – Header by Rodrigo Aguirre that went just wide of the goal!

Total and absolute dominance by América, the team was constantly creating chances at the goal defended by Acevedo, who at several moments looked desperate, complaining to his defense.

70′ GOAL FOR AMÉRICA – Amazing goal by Alan Cervantes with a shot from outside the box.

74′ Substitutions – Out: Alejandro Zendejas, Cristian Borja, Alexis Gutiérrez – In: Isaías Violante, Víctor Dávila and Miguel Vázquez.

Despite a rather complicated first half due to injuries, the team managed to overcome that and finished with a very important victory that currently puts them in second place in the standings.

América’s next league match will be away against Cruz Azul on Saturday, October 18.
