Over the course of its last three games, consistency has lacked for Club America. Since Oribe Peralta joined the Olympic squad for his brief stint in Rio, America has lost by a 3-0 blowout, pulled out a 4-2 comeback win, and tied 1-1 against Morelia. Aside from its lone win during the stretch, America’s offense has gone cold. Before taking on its arch rival, Chivas, America must first visit Puebla for a Sunday afternoon game at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc.
Facing Morelia, America controlled the tempo for the majority of the game, but gassed out nearing the end to open an opportunity for Morelia to score on a header.
