Score the penalty
The America deluded his fans, because just eleven minutes later a controversial penalty was scored in favor, after the Colombian Roger Martinez steal the round from Arturo Ortiz to enter the area and be contacted by Erik Lira.
It was the Argentine Emanuel Aguilera the one in charge of collecting the maximum penalty, deceiving Alfredo Talavera to make the Colossus of Santa Úrsula, hoping for a comfortable win.
The aerial game, as Pumas repeated the dose three times
The goals of the National University could well be a trace, because in all of them there was a center that was connected, leaving no opportunity for Guillermo Ochoa and badly standing to the defenders.
In the first goal, Alan Mozo took advantage of that Mauro Lainez he only stared at him to launch the dangerous pitch that Corozo he barely managed to connect with his foot.
For the second, Mozo appeared again to send the center to the area with the South American surpassing the Uruguayan mark Sebastian Caceres, which also failed in the third goal of Meritao, with one more center of Mozo.
It did not weigh the Azteca Stadium as expected
With this it was paid to have gone out to speculate in the first duel, held in the University Olympic Stadium, where the Argentine helmsman Santiago Solari decided to go out to defend the board avoiding both against, achieving his goal.
However, that paid a bill because he did not try to harm someone else’s field, especially when it is a field that also suits the Millonetas.
Removing the penalty in favor, the opportunities generated by the feathered painting were few, without causing danger in the arch guarded by Talavera, despite the fact that the fans were encouraging at all times.
Important players who dwindled at the mere hour
Incredible as it may seem, the best player in the Coapa team was Roger, who in addition to getting the penalty in favor, was constantly crashing against rivals, seeking to outsmart, sending centers and trying to enable the rest.
Outside of that, there were footballers who disappeared even when they had a great semester. Salvador Reyes passed at night, without getting on the attack as he constantly does; the Paraguayan Richard Sanchez generated little, so much so that Solari he took it out at 50 ‘, while the Spanish Alvaro Fidalgo could not generate danger in the area.
Jorge Sanchez He did not go up continuously to create from his lane, Laínez was not precise with his centers, Henry Martin had little contact with the ball and not to mention the changes, which could not change the face of the Ave, that is, Sebastian Cordova, the Uruguayan Federico Viñas and Miguel Layún.
Henry Martín’s play that could have been the momentary 2-0
He would not exist, but the Eagles could have made it 2-0, a score that perhaps would have put the university spirit against the canvas.
At minute 15, Ochoa He sent a long ball, where La Bomba waited for the boat, leaving his marker behind by speed while the ball continued to bounce, entering the area and releasing his shot towards the person of Talavera, which he managed to deflect with his shoulder.
If the Yucatecan had connected from below, perhaps he would have been able to celebrate the second goal azulcrema. With this, it became clear what was shown by America throughout the tournament, their forwards were ineffective, always having to rely on midfielders and defenders for that.
