The match between Club Tijuana and Club América was billed as being the must-see match of the week, and it did not disappoint in the most Liga MX of ways. Two goals, two expulsions, nine yellow cards, and all of the drama imaginable.
As expected, the reactions to returning Miguel Herrera and Guido Rodríguez were mixed with mostly boos. Also as expected, both teams came to play. In the fifth minute, Gustavo Bou picked the pocket of an América defender, drove centrally, and drew a foul. On the ensuing free kick, Bou’s blast whistled just wide of the post.
