He Club Pachuca He played a great game at the Hidalgo Stadium, but could not define the multiple options he generated. This gave life to an America that left the stadium with gold. 1-1 was the result of the first leg, a score that could have been larger, according to Guillermo Almada.

Salomón Rondón and Henry Martín were the authors of the goals at the Hidalgo Stadium. But André Jardine’s team was far inferior to its rival. Martín’s goal was one of the few options that América had during the match.

For the experienced Uruguayan strategist, The series could have been sentenced at the Hidalgo Stadium. Guillermo Almada considers that Pachuca could have scored up to four goals in the game. But the definition took its toll on them and now the series is open.

“Honestly, congratulations to the players for their dedication and willingness, great first half we played, We could have had 3 or 4 goals, we had a defensive error and we lacked. We are 1-1, we have 90 minutes left at the Azteca. At no time did we think that the key against America was going to be easy”We have 90 minutes left to seek victory, America will try the same there,” Almada said after the game.

The numbers are scandalous. Club Pachuca made up to 17 shots throughout the match. Of all those attempts, the Tuzos gave good direction to 8 shots. The Águilas del América only had two shots between the three sticks. One of them was the tying goal.

“What we lacked was effectiveness, if we had been effective, it would end 4-0 or 4-1. Our sin was that, no matter how much we had in the second half, we didn’t have those in the first, the truth is that the key is very even, the details will define the game there”he added.

The Tuzos del Pachuca have had an extraordinary season. The Mexican team is in the Concacaf Champions League finalafter eliminating América, and now they fight in the local tournament against the same azulcrema team.
