Club América recovered from a late Edson Alvarez red card to earn a dramatic 3-2 win over Puebla on Friday.
Las Águilas, looking for their first win against Puebla in nine Liga MX matche,s took an early lead when a penalty was called in the ninth minute and Cecilio Dominguez converted from the spot.
The goal seemed to have inspired Puebla, who took control of the proceedings and eventually equalized in the 43rd minute. Lucas Cavallini prodded home a perfect Alejandro Chumacero cross.
Puebla’s joy was short-lived, and just moments later, Oribe Peralta took advantage of a fortunate bounce inside the box following a corner kick to fire las Águilas back into the lead.
