A hard-fought match between two very good teams as Santos Laguna and América played to a 1-1 draw at Estadio Corona. Henry Martín scored América’s lone goal while Santos canterano Santiago Muñoz was the hero for the home side.
Both teams came out looking to assert themselves, and both were able to get some pressure early. América had won a corner kick within the first minute of play, and by the third minute Santos had already had a break down field that América had to scramble to defend. While the battles were fierce, the actual chances were scant and it was some time before an actual shot on goal in the 14th minute when Matheus Dória unleashed a rocket of a free kick that Óscar Jiménez made a fine diving stop on.
