Toluca were able to do what no other team have been able to since the beginning of the season, and that was to hand America a loss. The last time the Aguilas suffered a loss was back in week six, and since then they won nine straight games until drawing to Santos and then winning another four straight. The Diablos from Toluca held firm for a 2-1 win.
The game was very intense from the start. Toluca fans created an incredible atmosphere for the team and there were barely any yellow shirts in the stadium. America kicked things off in the fourth minute when Alejandro Zendejas took off down the flank and was able to get around Toluca defender Valber Huerta, but instead of passing to an open Alvaro Fidalgo, took the shot himself and was denied.
