Cecilio Dominguez and Mateus Uribe each scored a brace as Club America demolished Saprissa 5-1 in the First Leg of their CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16 matchup.
Las Aguilas were in front after only two minutes when Cecilio Dominguez latched on to a fine Oribe Peralta pass to turn in the first goal of the game.
But Miguel Herrera’s men failed to build on their blistering start, with Saprissa able to neutralize Club America’s attack.
The setback stung América into life late in the first half, and Mateus Uribe unleashed superb one-time strike past goalkeeper Aaron Cruz to double the lead.
