In the meeting on display during the seventh day of theOpeningAmerica won the classic young against Cruz Azul while Atlético San Luis consolidated its leading position.
On Saturday evening, all eyes were on the Estadio Azteca, filled with only 36,500 spectators out of the 82,000 it can accommodate. Certainly because Blue Cross “received” theAmerica (although the two clubs play in the same stadium) after only one victory in the last ten matches in all competitions. Enough to disappoint their supporters. And the fate of MCeleste machine unfortunately did not get better after this clyoung asiandespite a good performance on his part.
Of the Effective Eagles
Indeed, dominant, all the more so during the first period, the cemeteries suffered their fifth loss of the tournament. On their first chance of the match (4th minute), las Eagles opened the scoring with the inevitable Julián Quiñones, well placed after a strike from Brian Rodríguez. The striker who trained this week with the Tri with a view to his future naturalization scored his fourth goal of the tournament. Quickly led, Carlos Salcedo and his teammates still gained the upper hand over their opponents. But after a very nice equalizer from Carlos Rotondi (24th), the match swung in favor of the Cream blue. In the 34th minute, Carlos Rodríguez was sent off after a light elbow in the face from Richard Sánchez. Undoubtedly the turning point of the match since the score was 3-1 in favor ofAmerica at the break. In the space of three minutes (45+5th and 45+8th), the defense of Blue Cross folded twice. A first on a magnificent sequence from the same Richard Sánchez then a second on a wrapped shot from Brian Rodríguez after a loss of the ball by goalkeeper Sebastián Jurado, booed by his supporters at half-time. The Mexican international hopeful goalkeeper conceded three goals in as many shots on target in this meeting. Ultimately, Uriel Antuna’s late goal (87th minute) changed nothing: Blue Cross is in crisis after another defeat (2-3) and is in penultimate place in Liga MX.
San Luis remains leader, Juárez on its way
The other information to remember from the day is obviously the leader saint Louis who kept his first place. Gustavo Leal’s men won at home againstAtlas (2-0), achieving a fifth success in a row in the championship. His runner-up Tigers took place with a very large victory against Queretaro (5-0) to climb onto the podium. André-Pierre Gignac took the opportunity to score his third goal of the tournament from the penalty spot. Last team completing the podium, the FC Juárez continues to impress with victory against Mazatlan (3-1). Arrived from Workshops (Argentina), the Colombian Diego Valoyes dazzled the Estadio Benito Juárez for his first Liga MX match with a great goal and two assists.
The bad operation of the day was carried out by the Chivas. Defeated at home by Striped (1-2), the Red and white were ejected from the podium. The fault lies with a great Sergio Canales, author of his first two goals in Liga MX. The Spanish international therefore allowed Monterrey to find the path to success after two defeats in a row. Another result to remember, the heavy defeat of Pachuca has Toluca (0-5), which plunges the Tuzos in the crisis. Once is not customary, the doorman Choriceros Tiago Volpi scored a new penalty: his eighth (out of eight attempted) in 2023!
Finally, in the mid-table match between Santos Laguna (seventh) and the Pumas (tenth), the Lagooners won (2-1) with a goal from Harold Preciado, now top scorer in theOpening 2023 with five goals scored. At the very bottom of the ranking, we find Necaxawho despite the first goal of the young Rogelio Cortes (2004) in Liga MX conceded a draw to Thefrom the. THE Good heavens have therefore still not won the slightest victory. Conversely, Puebla found form with a second success in a row against Tijuana at home (3-0). Last on the fifth day, the Poblanos are now in twelfth place with seven points.
