Club America avoided another loss by weathering a 2-0 deficit versus los Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz at and crunching out a 4-2 win Saturday night at Estadio Luis “Pirata” Fuente. Silvio Romero, Renato Ibarra and Darwin Quintero scored for las Aguilas with Romero scoring the first to goals to tie the game.
