The goal did not take long to arrive at the Estadio Azteca because América did not let Tigres breathe in the 12th round of the 2022 Apertura and in the first attacking play, Jonathan Rodríguez put the ball in the back of the net of goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán. The 'Águilas' are unstoppable and are looking for their sixth consecutive victory in the Mexican League.
The match started intensely. Tigres tried to penetrate América's field, but Richard Sánchez recovered the ball and immediately passed it to Alejandro Zendejas on the right side, who entered the 'felina' area and sent a low cross for 'Cabecita' Rodríguez to open the scoring in less than a minute.
Although, as a precaution, top scorer Henry Martin stayed on the bench, the azulcrema team is not missing him, as the Uruguayan is in a good moment and scored his fifth goal in the 2022 Apertura tournament.
