The Águilas del América came out strong in the 'Clásico Joven' against Cruz Azul, but it was the latter who scored in the first few minutes of the game.
Spanish player Edgar Méndez took advantage of the assist from Uruguayan Martín Cauteruccio to score the first goal of the match, just five minutes into the game.
A powerful right-footed shot left goalkeeper Agustín Marchesín with no chance.
