Puebla broke a 13-year away curse by beating América 0-1

Puebla achieved what seemed impossible and that in the last 13 years they had come up against a rock by adding results again and again without knowing victory at América’s home. But as nothing in life is impossible, the team from La Franja managed this Saturday break that negative streak by beating the Eagles 0-1 at the Sports City stadium.

A fair victory for what happened on the field and for the neat way it was played. to prevent America from imposing its conditions and thus break that streak of bad results when visiting the Eagles since the 2011 Apertura tournament.

A defeat that along with the elimination of the Leagues Cup on penalties with the Colorado Rapids 9-8, It shows that the American team with all its names is still not performing at the level expected to fight for the third championship.

That is to say, it took almost 4,745 days for the Puebla squad, led by José Manuel de la Torre, to be able to rid itself of its demons and fears and achieve a great victory that calms the versions of crisis. who threatened the people of Puebla due to the lack of results.

So dominant was the Americanist control that in the history of the short tournaments Puebla had only added three victories since the Winter 1996 tournament and that had been in the 14th date of the Clausura 2003 tournament, on matchday 4 of the 2004 Apertura tournament and then 2-3 on matchday 16 of the 2011 Apertura tournament.

On that occasion Puebla won with two goals from the Spaniard Luis García and one from the Colombian Duvier Riascos, while for the American team scored by Raul Jimenez and Vicente Matias Vuoso, in what was one of the most resounding victories in the history of the Puebla team, as achieved this Saturday on matchday 5 of the 2024 Apertura championship.

Even in the history of the duels of both teams in the history of short tournaments, Puebla had six years without beating America, which together with the drought of visitors, It created a feeling of reluctance that he might do something this Saturday night.

Puebla beat the Eagles for the last time at home On April 20, 2018, when they won with a resounding 3-1 at the Cuauhtémoc stadium. The goals were scored by Bolivian Alejandro Chumacero, Colombian Omar Fernández and Puebla native Pablo González. Renato Ibarra was the one who scored for the Eagles in that match.

But as we said, There is always a first time and now they were able to do it with the goal of the Mexican Raúl Castillo, who with a clever move was able to overcome the move by goalkeeper Luis Malagón, getting ahead of the Águilas goalkeeper by pointing the ball and pushing the ball into the net.

The reality is that America dominated the actions and should have come out with a better result from the match that represented the return to activity. of the Eagles to the Apertura 2024 tournament of the Liga MX, but where the team led by the Brazilian André Jardine It showed that they are in crisis and that they cannot find the ideal framework.

Best example, The two sides of the coin of America’s forwards who in the last match came out with problems of injuries and internal issues, now tried to cause damage, but in fact had to settle for the stumble.

For its part, Puebla’s greatest virtue was defending itself well and when they realized it, they already had America on the ropes, Therefore they decided to keep their same formation and with that they were able to achieve an important victory of 0-1while America paid dearly for its arrogance and in the end even took its pride after Puebla had not won away from home for 13 years.
