Facing his former team, Moises Munoz traced down nearly every shot from Monarcas Morelia, but a string of missed opportunities ended the game with a 1-1 draw for Club America.
Darwin Quintero and Silvio Romero had the clearest shots at goal for America. Romero sent a shot flying from outside the box to dead center of the post, and Quintero broke through three defenders but had his attempt blocked between the legs of Morelia’s diving goalkeeper.
Bruno Valdez finally cracked the dead stalemate on a header at the hour mark. Valdez’s header came on a corner set by Rubens Sambueza after beating the Morelia defense.
