Nuevo León, Monterrey.- Club América left Houston, Texas with a tough 2-1 loss against Tigres UANL. Coach Fernando Ortiz gave the quarry the opportunity to face this match, including several players who do not add much activity in Liga MX, however the result was not what he expected.
The eagles obtained the tie through Federico Viñas, who managed to take the ball after a defensive error by Hugo Ayala. The charrúa got the tie until the 80th minute, without expecting a hard blow moments later due to Guido Pizarro’s goal.
Perhaps the scoreboard was not well planned, but something that pleased the feathered team was the presence of the public at the PNC Stadium, even the majority of people with the cream-blue jersey was appreciated despite the bad moment that the first team is experiencing in the C2022 of MX League.
In this match, Club América had five casualties due to national team issues. Guillermo Ochoa, Jorge Sánchez and Henry Martín meet with the Mexican National Team to play the triple round of the FIFA Date, while Dirgo Valdés and Richard Sánchez traveled to South America to play with Chile and Paraguay, respectively.
In the same way, Fernando Ortiz will not take any of those mentioned into consideration for the next friendly match that the team from the capital will play against Rayados de Monterrey at the Q2 Stadium in the city of Austin, Texas.
