The 'Eagles' turned it around: Zendejas scores a great goal for America's 2-1 against Monterrey in Liga MX.

The goal by Stefan Medina from Monterrey forced América to react and it didn't take long to equalize the match. Jonathan Rodríguez appeared and scored the temporary 1-1. With the boost from that goal, Alejandro Zendejas impressed with a great goal and sealed the 2-1 comeback.

In the 34th minute of the first half, the Mexican midfielder took advantage of the passive defending from 'Rayados' and scored with a left-footed shot to surprise goalkeeper Luis Cárdenas and silence the thousands of home team fans present at the BBVA Bancomer stadium.

Zendejas, 24 years old, scored his first goal in the current tournament and his sixth goal in Liga MX for América, the club he joined in January of this year after his time at Necaxa.
