América beat Puebla 3-2 in the second leg at the Estadio Azteca and reached the semi-finals of Mexican soccer, but they did so in a duel that involved in the controversy and that the most rigorous fans described as theft, so they took on the task of dedicating any number of memes to it.
The main move criticized by America’s detractors was the repetition of the collection of a penalty that the goalkeeper Antony Silva had already saved to Diego Valdés; however, the referee ruled that the goalkeeper was not well positioned on the goal line and disallowed the shot; so on the second opportunity, the player scored the momentary 2-1 in favor of the Eagles that put the team from La Franja on the ropes.
Another controversial play was the iron of Alejandro Zendejas that, many Internet users considered that it was a clear red card that the referee forgave, so the memes fell with everything to the whistler.
“Paco Memo” was also a victim of memes
Another of the protagonists of the jokes of the fans was Guillermo Ochoa, the azulcrema goalkeeper, since made a mistake in Puebla’s first goal, when the scoreboard was 1-1 in the first half and America was still at risk of falling.
