Las
Aguilas del America started La Liguilla with a great game. After
facing off Pachuca during the first away game of the tournament, they
demonstrated why they made it to La Liguilla. With a 3-1 victory, Las
Aguilas put everyone on their feet, and they move on to the next round
with a 3 goal lead.
As
the game began, both teams played at their best, showing of their
skills at controlling, passing and dodging their opponents.
Unfortunately for Pachuca, Las Aguilas scored at minute 39 as El “Rolfi”
Montenegro executed a corner kick that sent Jesus Molina up in the air
to head the ball straight into the goal. As Americanistas cheered for
their team, 3 minutes later El “Hobbit” Bermudez scored. The play began
with El “Rolfi” aiming at the goal and the ball being stopped by the
goalie. As he, once again, took control of the ball he passed it to El
“Hobbit” who, in my opinion, lightly tapped the ball into the goal.
The
second half of the game began with Las Aguilas holding their heads high
with confidence. It seemed as if the game would end with a 2-0 lead,
but El “Hobbit” once again scored after a pass from Chema Cardenas.
With a 3-0 lead, Las Aguilas had sealed their victory, but after a foul
by Diego Reyes, Leobardo Lopez executed the kick and, for the first time
in the entire game, lit up the scoreboard for Pachuca.
Las
Aguilas have demonstrated time and time again how much they have
improved as a team, and why they deserve to be in this tournament. With
this victory, being the 3rd consecutive, Las Aguilas move on to their
next game, once again against Pachuca, at their home stadium. We shall
see if they can once again show who’s the boss!
