Wednesday, December 6, 2023. America and saint Louis They were playing the first leg in the semi-finals of the Apertura tournament and the Águilas took the field with the duty of winning in order to confirm the good football that allowed them to finish the competition as absolute leaders of the general table.
Not even five minutes had passed when, in a ball intelligently served by the Mexican striker Henry Martin in favor of Diego Valdés, who came from behind and shot first, the azulcremas made it 1-0 which forced the Potosinos to score two for advance, still having practically two games to play.
Let us remember that Diego Valdés was off the field for more than a month, due to an injury suffered with his national team. He only regained ownership a couple of weeks ago, in the quarterfinals against León, and in the semifinals he was in charge of putting the score in favor of the American cause.
André Jardine, who recently arrived in América for the 2023 Apertura tournament, is very close to leading the Coapa team to a new final for the Mexican championship.
The last time that América played this instance was in the winter of 2019, when, led by Miguel: the ‘Piojo’ Herrera, they lost the final in a penalty shootout against the Rayados de Antonio: the ‘Turco’ Mohamed, who could also be a rival of América, now commanding the UNAM Pumas ship.
