The 'Eagles' will start this new campaign at the Azteca Stadium with a highly challenging test against Atlas, the current Mexican champion. América is already fine-tuning the final details for their debut in the Apertura 2022, which starts this Friday. The match will take place on Saturday, July 2 at 9:05 p.m. (Peruvian and Mexican time), and the broadcast and narration will be through the TUDN and Afizzionados channels. Take note and don't miss a single detail.
The expectations for this match grew in recent days, due to the signings they made, especially that of Jonathan 'Cabecita' Rodríguez, who will not be able to play against the 'Zorros' because he will only report to the club this week and will have little time to work with the team.
Likewise, Pedro Aquino and Salvador Reyes would also not be present in Saturday's match. In the case of the Peruvian, because he just reported to the 'Nido' after his participation in the World Cup playoffs, while the Mexican due to an injury.
With these absences, the 'Eagles' would line up with Guillermo Ochoa, Luis Fuentes, Sebastián Cáceres, Jorge Meré, Jorge Sánchez, Richard Sánchez, Jonathan Dos Santos, Diego Valdez, Zendejas, Roger Martínez, and Henry Martín.
It is necessary to mention that the most recent encounter between both teams took place in the previous tournament. On that occasion, the 'Millonetas' hosted the 'Zorros' at the Coloso de Santa Úrsula for the Week 3 of the Clausura 2022 and lost 0-2 after the goals from Diego Barbosa and Jonathan Herrera.
When does the Apertura 2022 tournament start?
