Hidalgo Stadium, Pachuca / 13.05.2021 21:13:10
Hidalgo Stadium is “anti-big” territory in Liga MX. Last weekend they eliminated Chivas in the Repechage and this Thursday the Pachuca now beat America on the First leg of the Quarterfinals with a 3-1 which can be lapidary, although the away goal is what gives the Eagles some life.
Pachuca 3-1 America; that’s how the game was
A busy first half, with arrivals from both sides but it was the Tuzos who took advantage of a stopped ball to go ahead 1-0 with a Erick Aguirre’s header, whose main physical attribute is not height, but he won by high, Cabral made Memo Ochoa fly and that’s how the breaker arrived in half an hour.
The Eagles had the control of the ball, but they were not fine at the time of the last touch. Even so, and without having clear plays in Ustari’s goal, they found the 1-1 in compensation time with a great goal by Leo Suárez.
In the second part the roles did not change. America he continued to have control of the ball, but as in the first half he lacked intelligence to generate danger in the local goal.
At minute 65, and when the game did not have a clear dominator, the Pachuca In a good triangulation on the right wing he scored the second goal, after a pass from Ibarra, a touch from Roberto de la Rosa and a powerful shot from Pipe Pardo for 2-1.
Expulsion of Aquino and the tombstone to America
The last 15 minutes had everything in Hidalgo. At minute 74 there was a partial blackout of the lighting, delaying the restart for five minutes. The light came back, but the one who “had the cables crossed” at 81 ‘went to Pedro Aquino, who was expelled for a plate to Burrito Hernández.
With the dilemma of seeking a tie, but outnumbered, the azulcremas got out of hand and the Hidalgo players got as much as the series can sentence. In compensation time Luis Chávez put the final 3-1 mid-distance, making Ochoa’s uptight an ornament.
What does America need to move forward?
- Win 2-0 or 3-1 to go through an away goal or table position.
- Win by three goals difference if you receive two or more from Pachuca at Azteca (5-2, 6-3).
- Any loss, draw or victory by a goal eliminates the Eagles.
