San Luis 0-1 América – The Eagles soar in San Luis | OneFootball

América defeats Atlético de San Luis as visitors with a goal from Alejandro Zendejas.

First half:

The match began with Atlético de San Luis prioritizing defense and América holding possession, looking to open the scoring at the Alfonso Lastras.

André Jardine tried something different up front with Brian Rodríguez, Rodrigo Aguirre, Víctor Dávila, and Alexis Gutiérrez, but it didn’t work out as he expected; the players weren’t connecting and the only one offering something different was ‘Rayito’.

42′ Substitution – Rodrigo Aguirre leaves after a hard blow to the face, Alejandro Zendejas comes in.

It was a rather lackluster first half from both teams, América tried more, but they couldn’t generate any real danger; in fact, we went into halftime without a single shot on target from either side.

The entrance of Alejandro Zendejas gave the team a bit of a boost, generating two consecutive goal-scoring opportunities, but they still couldn’t find the target.

Second half:

49′ América’s first! – Powerful shot from Erick Sánchez from outside the box, well saved by the San Luis goalkeeper.

62′ Substitutions – Off: Víctor Dávila, Erick Sánchez, and Brian Rodríguez – On: Allan Saint-Maximin, Álvaro Fidalgo, and José Zúñiga.

71′ América comes close! – Zúñiga lays the ball off to Saint-Maximin right at the edge of the box, but his shot goes just over the bar.

A much better second half from América, Allan Saint-Maximin is on another level; in just a few minutes he made a big difference on the pitch.

86′ Goal disallowed for América – Great play by Saint-Maximin, taking on defenders inside the box, but just before crossing, the ball went out of bounds.

88′ GOAL FOR AMÉRICA – Brilliant individual play by Alejandro Zendejas to open the scoring.

A very important victory for Las Águilas that allows them to stay in the race for the top spot, reaching 21 points to Cruz Azul’s 24.

América’s next match will be this Saturday, hosting Pumas at Ciudad de los Deportes.
