America was left with the desire to go to rest with the partial advantage. Puebla reacted, shortly after the end of the first half, and scored the 1-1 goal in a clash corresponding to the first day of the 2022 Clausura of the MX League.
In the 45th minute, Maximiliano Araujo took advantage of an error by the ‘Águilas’ in the air game and seized the ball. The Uruguayan settled on his left foot and took the strong shot that overcame the resistance of goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa at the Cuauhtémoc Stadium.
The first goal of the night, that is, came just 10 seconds into the game. Salvador Reyes was in charge of signing the 1-0 score for the azulcrema cast. In other striking actions in the first half, Roger Martínez and coach Santiago Solari were sent off.
America vs. Puebla: the preview
The ‘Eagles’ must take up the challenge two days after reporting the contagion of COVID-19 from three of their members. It will be the third tournament under the command of Argentine Santiago Solari, who had a brief stint on the Real Madrid bench.
In the two previous tournaments, América del ‘Indiecito’ had outstanding performances in the regular phase, but fell in the quarterfinals in the league, which led to serious questions.
“We face the new tournament with great enthusiasm, renewed energy, desire to start and enjoy football, an exciting sport that I hope does not have to stop due to the cases of COVID-19”, Solari expressed in the previous one.
