Malagón and Henry rescue the América; They beat the bottom man Santos

Mexico City. América has habits that make it a dominant and recognizable team, but it faces problems with goals. It’s as if in every game he needed a stroke of luck. Still immersed in the mess of not finding a better course, the current two-time Mexican soccer champion solved the problem of beating the bottom Santos (3-0) by resorting to one of his best-known formulas, which is limited to converting two of his many played without having to give explanations.

The low level of the Águilas made goalkeeper Luis Ángel Malagón a figure and revealed that it is a cyclical problem, with a depth so deep that it invites them to think about a change of pieces in their squad. The whistles were felt again in the Ciudad de los Deportes stadium, in the first half with greater clarity due to the constant errors of Alejandro Zendejas and Illian Hernández in the attack.

Malagón served as relief for the Águilas. The Michoacan, national team and starter on Tuesday in Guadalajara in the victory against the United States, saved at least three shots with goal direction from the Argentine Ramiro Sordo, the Spanish Fran Villalba and the Honduran Anthony Lozano, the current offensive references of those from Torreón . Reaching half-time with the game tied at zero marked the end of the patience of the people, who gathered in greater numbers at the Ciudad de los Deportes.

Faced with an opponent stuck in his area, Jardine turned to his captain and leader in the locker room: Henry Martín. The Yucatecan, recovered from a thigh injury, headed a Valdés service to the far post and solved the definition problems that his teammates showed (77). As a team reflects its own state of mind, América improved through contagion in all its lines. In this way, Illian Hernández’s goals (83) and Hugo Isaac Rodríguez’s own goal (86) fell, one after another, caused by the American attacks. The weakness of Santos, last place in the Liga Mx in 12 dates, could not be hidden again with such a score.

Chivas and León win on the visit

In Pachuca, Guadalajara turned the page after the departure of Argentine Fernando Gago. With scores from Roberto Alvarado (20) and Gilberto Sepúlveda (41), the rojiblancos defeated the Tuzos 2-0 in their first match under the technical direction of Arturo Ortega, who filled Gago’s place.

Finally, in Ciudad Juárez, the Braves fell 3-2 to León in a duel of somersaults and emotions until the end. Diego Hernández (13), John Stiven Mendoza (67) and Mauricio Isaís (90+7) sealed the victory for the Panzas Verdes, despite the goals of Oscar Estupiñán (50) and José Juan García (62).
