Richard Sánchez's great goal for América's victory over Querétaro

Saturday, January 20, 2024, Azteca stadium field. The brand new champion of Mexican soccer: the powerful Eagles of Americadebut the crown before their fans in the duel corresponding to day two of Clausura 2024. Their rival was the White Roosters of Querétaro.

The people from Queretaro took to the field with the intention of keeping zero as long as possible. And this lasted for more than sixty minutes, until Richard Sánchez took the courage to take a shot from outside the area that left the Querétaro goalkeeper with no chance.

With the advantage in their pocket, those led by André Jardine felt more comfortable inside the green rectangle. The Gallos Blancos were forced to look for a tie, and this caused certain spaces to open up.

At minute eighty-six of the match, the Colombian soccer player, recently naturalized Mexican, Julián Quiñones, put the final 2-0 in favor of the champions, thus achieving his second consecutive victory in this start of the Clausura 2024 tournament, in where they now have four goals for and zero against.

The next rival of the Águilas del América is the Braves of Ciudad Juárez, who will receive them next Wednesday, January 24, at 9:00 p.m., on the field of the Benito Juárez Olympic Stadium.

Of the last five confrontations between America and the Ciudad Juarez Braves, the azulcremas have been victorious four times and have only lost once. They suffered this defeat precisely the previous tournament, when the border team surprised the capital's team by defeating them as a visitor.
