Unfortunately
for Las Aguilas del America, this weekend’s game didn’t go as planned.
With this game, against Cruz Azul, being the third clasico in the
Mexican soccer league, America wanted to win! Cruz Azul, on the other
hand, needed to win the game to be able to go on to La Liguilla. With a
2-2 tie, Cruz Azul only had 25 points, in eighth place, but
unfortunately for the team Jaguares made 27 points after their game on
the same day. Las Aguilas del America stayed at 32 points, now moving
to 3rd place after Monterrey.
Las
Aguilas lit up the scoreboard first, as Christian Benitez scored at
minute 9. Everyone was still celebrating the goal when, at minute 13,
Benitez scored once again!The celebration only lasted 10 minutes, as
Jahir Pereira headed the ball after a corner kick, for a score of 2-1.
El
Chucho Benitez had an opportunity to score the 3rd goal, after a
penalty was called in favor of Las Aguilas. Unfortunately Jose De Jesus
Corona, goalie for Cruz Azul, blocked the ball. The first time ended
with other goals made on either team.
Second
half of the game was intense, as both teams desperately wanted to
score. For 30 minutes neither team was able to score, but the
opportunity arose for Cruz Azul. At minute 73 Emmanuel Villa tied the
game, and came close to another goal only 3 minutes later. The game
ended with a 2-2 tie.
