Heading towards the end of the first half, a goal oozing technique by Javier Aquino and the red card to Renato Ibarra mounted a significant advantage for los Tigres over Las Aguilas del America in a 3-0 rout. In its first loss of the season, the America offense had its chances but ultimately failed to capitalize. Here’s my three takeaways of America’s loss to Tigres.
1)Hugo Gonzalez may have given the starting spot back
Understandably, Gonzalez had to defend more shots with a man less in the game, but all three goals by Tigres served themselves up more by costly errors from Gonzalez than errors by the defense.
