Henry Martín, Alejandro Zendejas, Colombian Julián Quiñones, and Uruguayan Jonathan Rodríguez scored for Águilas, who dominated at their home, the Azteca, and reflected it on the scoreboard.
América had 70% ball possession in the first half and created several goal threats until they took the lead in the 42nd minute. In a rain-soaked match, goalkeeper Carlos Moreno lost the ball in a free-kick play, rescued by Martín, who scored for the 1-0 lead.
América pressed in the second half and in the 59th minute, they made it 2-0 with a pass from Martín, after which both teams let go of offensive opportunities. In the 87th minute, Moreno confirmed his bad night with another mistake; he left a loose ball and Quiñones scored from the right to confirm the rout. Lost, Pachuca conceded the fourth goal with a goal from Rodríguez, assisted by Quiñones.
América achieved seven wins, three draws, one loss, and 24 points, four ahead of Tigres UANL. Pachuca remained in fourteenth place with 11 points. A little earlier, Argentinian Rogelio Funes Mori scored a goal and rescued a draw for Rayados de Monterrey in Puebla's stadium.
