Pachuca got a solid start in their series against Club America with a 3-1 win. Pachuca were the better side and took advantage of terrible decisions including a red card foul to be in the driver’s seat for the return leg on Sunday. America will now need to get a two goal victory and possibly even three and will need to do so without Pedro Aquino against a Pachuca side that is playing the best they have all season.
The first half started with Pachuca coming out with their normal starting lineup, while America had Henry Martin up top and Roger Martinez was benched.
