A thrilling night ended in a 2-2 draw for America and Toluca where the ‘Red Devils’ had the ‘Aguilas’ trailing all night. America did not look good on either side as their defense was porous and their offense could not finish their opportunities. Both now move onto Week 3 with Toluca visiting Guadalajara and America receiving Puebla.
America were more insistent within the first few minutes of the game, although they were unable to get a shot on target. It looked like they might actually score until a defensive mistake led to a Toluca score. In the 8th minute, Marcel Ruiz went up the right side and took a shot that Oscar Jimenez initially blocked, but a lurking Charly Gonzalez was there to get the rebound.
