Colombian Roger Martínez paired for the Eagles immediately, with a great left-footed shot in the area, a minute after finding himself at a disadvantage.

Fidalgo got the winning goal when he reached the area without a mark, where Miguel Layún’s center was already waiting to send the ball to the nets at 52.

America basted its fourth victory to have 13 units at the top after this match for the 5th day.

Ciudad Juárez remains winless in the era of Brazilian coach Ricardo Ferretti. He has only drawn a couple of draws to march in the penultimate position.

America was lucky at the beginning of the second half, when the Braves scored a goal through the Uruguayan Gabriel Fernández. From the video arbitration room, an advanced position was reported that ruined the goal at 47.

Immediately America took control for Fidalgo to shine with his second goal of the championship.

The Braves finished with 10 men for the expulsion of José Esquivel, after a foul from the back to Sebastián Córdova during a counterattack in stoppage time.

José Alvarado sent an acrobatic header to the nets with which Monterrey rescued the 1-1 draw with Cruz Azul.

Alvarado entered as a substitute at 81. When added time began, he rose in the area to hit the ball with his head that shook the nets.

The Uruguayan Jonathan Rodríguez put the sky blue in front by way of the penalty at 67.

Monterrey stayed in fourth position with nine units. The champion Cruz Azul was fifth with eight points.

The Machine faced the final stretch with 10 players after the referee Jorge Pérez used the video to assess an entry by the Uruguayan José Rivero on the Costa Rican Joel Campbell, and sanctioned with a red card at 85.

This was the second duel in a week between the two teams. Seven days ago the Rayados achieved a 1-0 victory in the first leg of the semifinals of the Concacaf Champions League.
