MEXICO CITY.
Un last minute of disconnection and America had honey on its lips.
Los Gallos got the tie in 95 and prolong the agony of Santiago Solari’s team, which today could be last in the tournament if Santos beats Pumas.
There is no advance or reply in America, who naively believed they would win again at the Azteca Stadium, where they have not won since October of last year. They are four months without weighing the locality, something intolerable for the Americanist pride.
The Eagles started with a goal after five minutes by Bruno Valdez, always noted for his flawed soccer, which he tries to repair with pride. Also for being under suspicion of being the one leading the insurrection against Solari. At least on the pitch he has responded and celebrated his goal with an effusive shout.
But soon the victorious efforts of America would go out and the version of the vulgar team that has persecuted him in this contest returned.
Solari’s anxiety is insulting. When he was left with one less due to the expulsion of Alejandro Zendejas, he opted to turn his team into a timid group of men who were running out of steam without showing anything extraordinary.
The Eagles gave ground until their ideas dried up and they decided to take the swing of the match to the rhythm imposed by the Roosters.
However, an expulsion of Juan Romagnoli reopened hope. America did not play with intensity, but rather waited for the match to end, clinging to a string of minutes that passed with a trickle.
And in that sin they hardly tried to get the second goal, except for a header by Bruno Valdez that goalkeeper Aguerre took.
So Solari preferred to bet on defending in the last minutes, when his team is a calamity and his changes do not work, due to the apathy of the players.
For the Roosters, who don’t have much value either, a rough final play came to fruition in which a myopic Luis Fuentes, instead of kicking the ball, hit Sequeira’s calf with which the penalty was awarded. Ángel Sepúlveda with cold blood executed Ochoa without problems.
