America achieves an important victory against León at home with a much better performance than we saw in past matches.

First Half:

4′ Close for America! – Cross from Saint-Maximin to Brian Rodríguez who, after a cut, shot at the goal, but the opposing goalkeeper saved the shot.

12′ Almost a great goal! – Free kick taken by Brian Rodríguez that hits the post.

32′ Another shot to the post! A powerful shot by Erick Sánchez that the opposing goalkeeper deflects, and on the rebound, 'Maguito' ends up hitting his shot to the post.

Very interesting to see the different profiles on the wings of America; Saint-Maximin very explosive, looking to change the pace with speed and Brian Rodríguez trying to seek more team play and crosses into the area.

Second Half:

56′ Close for America! – Long shot by Allan Saint-Maximin that the opposing goalkeeper deflected.

58′ GOAL FOR AMERICA – A great goal by Allan Saint-Maximin with a powerful shot to the corner.

66′ Miss by ‘Buffalo’! – Rodrigo Aguirre was left alone inside the small area after a corner kick, but his shot was exactly where the opposing goalkeeper was positioned.

77′ Substitutions – Out: Allan Saint-Maximin and Erick Sánchez – In: Jonathan dos Santos and Patricio Salas.

84′ GOAL FOR AMERICA – Rodrigo Aguirre takes advantage of a rebound to score the Eagles' second goal.

87′ Substitutions – Out: Álvaro Fidalgo and Rodrigo Aguirre – In: Víctor Dávila and Alan Cervantes.

At times the team ceded control of the game to León, but despite that, the opponent was unable to create danger in the goal defended by Luis Malagón. Rodrigo's goal came at the exact moment to seal the match.

With this result, the Eagles reach 34 points to place third in the tournament and in the last matchday, they will be looking to snatch second place from Toluca, who have the same number of points but with a greater goal difference.
