Shutting mouths. Miguel Layún, Mexican defender for America, was the one in charge of equalizing the score for his team against Nashville in the context of a new match of the Leagues Cup. The player and captain of the 'Eagles' showed off with a great finish from outside the box to score the temporary 2-2 at Geodis Park in Tennessee.
In what was a forgettable match for Layún, the experienced America full-back redeemed himself from all his previous mistakes and scored the second goal for the 'Azulcrema' at the 50th minute of extra time. Assisted by the Colombian Roger Martinez, 'Miguelito' connected a powerful right-footed shot to beat goalkeeper Elliot Panicco.
