Two teams attended the match, but only one was present on the scoreboard, and this was América, which, with goals from Julián Quiñones, Diego Valdés and Henry Martín, beat Rebaño Sagrado 3-0. Only a great tragedy would take away their place in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League.
The second leg will be played next Wednesday, March 13, on the Azteca stadium field. The match will be broadcast on the Fox Sports signal.
America can even afford to lose the second leg by up to two goals, and would still advance to the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League. Only a miracle for those in red and white would turn this outcome that seems inevitable.
0-3 to América as a visitor in CONCACHAMPIONS.
Chivas is going for at least 4 goals at Azteca, will they be able to?
