Club América from Mexico beat Olimpia, from Honduras, 2-1 this Wednesday, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Concacaf Champions League.
The game lacked good football due to the personal marking of the two teams, although it was the local team that had the most approaches to the rival frame in the first half , but he was not forceful, like his rival.
He forgave @ CDOlimpia !
😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩Cáceres was wrong, Aguirre stayed hand in hand with Ochoa and defined on the one hand

To the 44, in another play from the left, Sergio Díaz received a pass and in front of the goal of Olimpia, defended by Edrick Menjívar, scored the 2-0 in favor of América, who was accurate in the two clear occasions he had in the last five minutes of the first half.

Second half
In the second episode, Olympia went in search to rescue the party, but America did not give them freedom and responded with counter-attacks, although without much danger.
The last ten minutes were intense, with an Olympia turned to attack and the minute 74 Colombian Yustín Arboleda discounted for the final 2-1 of the match.
