Not much had happened at the BBVA Bancomer Stadium, but Stefan Medina took care of giving an unexpected twist to the story. The Colombian, surprising everyone, took a powerful long-range shot to make it 1-0 for America against Monterrey, in the match corresponding to the second round of the 2022 Apertura Tournament of the Liga MX.
‘Rayados’ started the match with a lot of intensity, controlling the ball and looking to cause damage on the sides. Precisely on the right flank, the Colombian full-back appeared to make Guillermo Ochoa's dive useless.
The 'Águilas' were not having a bad match, but now they are forced to take risks with the score against them. The home team, on the other hand, could take advantage of it to cause damage with lethal counterattacks.

In the capital team, Peruvian defender Luis Abram received the confidence of the Uruguayan coach and started the Apertura as a starter. It is expected that the former Sporting Cristal player will be part of the squad against 'Tuzos'.

"We have to continue marking an evolution as the matches go by, in the precision in the game, some sectors of the field, there are positive aspects,", commented Guillermo Almada, coach of Pachuca, who renewed his contract with the institution until 2025.
