Wednesday, May 8, Hidalgo stadium field. The Pachuca Tuzos They received a visit from Eagles of Americafor the match corresponding to the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Clausura 2024 tournament.
The game was opened by Salomón Rondón just in the twenty-first minute. Pachuca dominated the azulcremas throughout the first half, generating so many plays that they were even able to go into halftime with a couple more goals.
However, at minute forty-six, Henry Martín made it 1-1, which would end up being final. The result is quite good for América, especially given what they experienced recently, in the CONCACAF Champions CUP, but they refuse to leave everything in the hands of reason, and will jump onto the field in search of resolving the match as soon as possible. .
Until a couple of years ago, drawing 1-1 in the first leg, playing as a visitor, could seem like a bad result, since if they score against you they complicate your life. However, now the away goal is not a tie-breaking criterion, so the locals go out to receive nothing and achieve whatever they can.
America has the table set to control the match and close it when the opportunity arises. The obligatory ones are the Tuzos, who must win no matter what to advance to the next round and continue dreaming of the famous double.
And although the result may seem somewhat fair, taking into account Pachuca’s attacking errors in the first half and América’s good reaction capacity in the second half, there is a somewhat bitter taste among Pachuca fans.
And Salomón Rondón had found the goal that gave the locals the advantage, but the flag bearer scored against it (again), and although they went to the VAR and everything, in the end the resolution was in favor of América.
