America battled back to get an away tie against Puebla in the first leg of their Quarterfinals matchup in the Liguilla. America overcame two injuries and a goal from Puebla to get a tie that has them in a prime position to get to the Semifinals, as an aggregate tie would give them the ticket because of their better record. Puebla at times looked good, but will need to improve as they need to win on Saturday or their tournament is over.
The first half started with both teams coming out with their best lineups. Puebla dominated the early minutes, pushing America into their area.
