Miguel Herrera outcoached again as America knocked out by Santos Laguna

The former Mexico manager's playoff struggles continued as Las Aguilas failed to do enough in the semi-finals

Miguel Herrera is fond of saying the title is always the expectation at Club America. The manager fell short of that standard again this tournament.

America needed a three-goal win against Santos Laguna on Sunday after a 4-1 defeat in Thursday's semifinal first leg, but only could manage a 2-2 draw for a 6-3 aggregate defeat that sent Santos through to the final and again sees Herrera begin his summer vacation early.

Winning matches when it matters has not been the 50-year-old's strength.
