América 1-3 Toluca: another setback for Las Águilas | OneFootball

America adds another failure in 2025 by losing the Champion of Champions.

First half:

1′ AMERICA'S GOAL – Brian Rodriguez's individual play ends with a great assist for Alejandro Zendejas who perfectly defined for the 1-0.

What a way to start the match by the eagles; with a dressing room goal that allowed them to control the match better.

11′ Toluca's Goal – Romero finds a rebound and shoots from outside the area to the lower corner to tie the game.

Malagón could have done more in the goal; just as Romero was about to shoot, the Americanist goalkeeper gave a small jump and that prevented him from reaching the ball that was completely flat.

A few minutes later, Malagón almost made another mistake; he took too long to go out for a long ball from the rival and when he finally decided, he managed to win the ball, but his late reaction caused him to put a stomp on Sebastian Caceres, which fortunately did not end in injury.

America was a little better during the first half, but the rival was smart and cut off a lot of offensive actions with fouls, causing the eagles to lose concentration at several moments.

45’+4 – Toluca's Goal – After a corner kick, Méndez beats Aguirre's mark and shoots alone to turn the game around.

Second half:

As expected, the second half started with America as the absolute owner of the offensive actions and the ball, against a Toluca that went all the way back, looking for a counterattack to kill the game.

56′ Changes – Out: Sebastian Caceres, Erick Sanchez and Isaías Violante – In: Alexis Gutierrez, Kevin Alvarez and José Zúñiga.

68′ Israel Reyes missed a very clear one; he was completely alone in the area after a corner kick, but his header was totally deviated.

71′ Toluca's Goal – Again in a set-piece play the rival scored the 3-1.

77′ Goal annulled to America – The 'Panther' Zúñiga had brought America closer, but it was annulled by a millimetric offside.

88′ Red card for Igor Lichnovsky.

90’+3 – Changes: Out: Álvaro Fidalgo and Alejandro Zendejas – In: Alan Cervantes and Ramón Juárez.

It has been a 2025 of failures for Club America; they lost in the quarterfinals of Concachampions, they lost the final of the Apertura 2025, they lost the Play-in of the Club World Cup and they lost the Champion of Champions.

The team urgently needs a couple of high-ranking reinforcements, a creative player and someone who can accompany Álvaro Fidalgo in midfield. If these types of players do not arrive, we can forget about the upcoming tournaments.
