In a tight-knit match against Cruz Azul, América is close to winning its 15th Liga MX title. At minute 78, the Eagles took the lead with a penalty goal from Henry Martín.
The penalty play was preceded by a foul by Carlos Rotondi on Israel Reyes. Several fans considered that the Argentine midfielder did not commit a foul on the Club América player and that there were elements for the penalty not to be awarded.
After this play was called, the central referee reviewed the play on the VAR, although after analyzing it he decided to reaffirm his original call.
Martín took the ball and prepared to charge from eleven steps. ‘La Bomba’ began his journey in front of the goal and totally deceived Kevin Mier to make it 1-0 that is giving the Águilas the title at this moment.
After his score, Martín, one of América’s historic forwards, took off his shirt and celebrated with his fans and teammates. He earned the yellow card for this celebration.
GOOOOOOL OF AMERICA! 🔥🔥
🔥🔥 GOOOOOOOL FROM AMERICA!🦅 America (1) 1-0 (1) Cruz Azul 🚂
