Toluca plays tricks on América 4-0 and sends them to play in

América had a hell of a night at the Nemesio Diez stadium and when they realized their hopes of advancing to the direct league They went overboard when they were beaten 4-0 by Toluca and in this way gave one of the regrettable nights to the proud two-time Mexican soccer champion

Simply, when it was thought that the Eagles would add their fourth victory consecutive to place themselves in an unbeatable position to show that the champion was stronger than ever, they arrived at a stadium that has historically been difficult for them in short tournaments and left humiliated with a relentless 4-0 win.

The defeat is undoubtedly a blow to aspirations to reach the grand final, because by playing the play in their selected players will only have two days of rest to surely face Xolos Tijuana, which will represent a handicap against them and which is obviously a blow to their plans to reach the three-time championship.

It is true that the Águilas started better than Toluca actions, but their offensive attempts were met by the Brazilian goalkeeper of the Red Devils Tiago Volpi and with this the scoring opportunities of the Uruguayans Rodrigo Aguirre and Brian Rodríguez, as well as Henry Martín, were neutralized.

This stand to stop the Americanist shrapnel In the first five minutes, he allowed Jesús Gallardo to beat goalkeeper Luis Malagón’s shot in a counterattack to put Toluca ahead 1-0 and thus manage the match until the end of the first half.

In the complement America had more strength in the attack and Alejandro Zendejas almost managed to beat Volpi in the 50th minute, but managed to deflect the shot and keep the score at 1-0. After this action, Toluca went forward with a counterattack by Paulinho that gave way to Alexis Vega and he put the ball on a silver platter to Jesús Angulo so that in the 57th minute he made it 2-0.

This caused America to lose control, as Kevin Álvarez made a mistake in one start to give it to Paulinho and for him to have a cross shot at minute 71 would make it 3-0, aggravating the American crisis on the field of play where he no longer felt how hard it was but how thick it was.

Already in the middle of the Águilas debacle Brazilian defender Luan García arrived to make it 4-0 with a shot from almost no angle that hit Luis Malagón’s first post to finish putting the nails in the coffin of the Americanists and handing them the direct ticket to play in.

Another bad news for America The thing is that if Xolos beat América this Sunday, the play-in match between the two will be on border land, complicating the entire existence of the team led by Brazilian André Jardine.
