The first minutes of the game were for the Eagles who sought to penetrate the rival’s good defensive position with a touch of the ball. Despite the possession, América could only have one clear goal play in the entire first half.
This action occurred before 10 minutes with an intentional filtered pass to reach the feet of Diego Valdés, but Henry Martín crossed and deflected the send, which complicated the arrival of the Chilean to barely touch the ball to the first post and send it on one side.
León entered the game after half an hour of play and opted for the counterattack thanks to the speed of his wingers, specifically John Mendoza, who set off the alarm due to a possible injury after the strong tackle of Jona Dos Santos.
Fortunately for León and the player, Mendoza managed to re-enter and minutes from the end he scored 1-0 after a great filtered pass from León that beat Cristian Calderón’s back so that the Colombian scored a cross with his right hand.
André Jardine made four changes for the second half, two at the beginning and another two after 15 minutes, and gained presence in the rival area.
But it was not until the 78th minute that one of those changes, Rodrigo Aguirre, paid dividends by entering the area with great speed on a corner kick and finishing with an inside kick for the dramatic final 1-1.
Despite the point obtained, América added its third day in Liga MX without knowing the victory and it is of little use for its aspirations towards the Mexican soccer Liguilla. The same for León, which has only one victory in its last six games.
