América is in the semifinals, and is shaping up to be one of the main candidates to win the Liga MX and become two-time champion of Mexican soccer. However, among Azulcremas fans more than one is beginning to wonder if certain footballers really deserve to continue wearing this shirt.
What was shown by Chilean central defender Igor Lichnovsky does not seem to match the aspirations of a club that always aspires for the best and does not leave much room for error. In this second leg, against the Tuzos, his mistake cost them the tie.
The @Tuzos break the tie ⚽️
