AME 2 – Juárez 1: The Eagles triumph at home against Los Bravos

AME enjoyed a mesmerising home victory against Juárez at Estadio Azteca on Monday. AME were looking forward to meeting again, following a previous defeat to León while Juárez are struggling for form following a draw in their last match. After today’s result, both teams are on 7 points and sit in 13th and 12th places respectively after 7 matches.

After a goalless first half, AME piled on the pressure in the second and were rewarded, when Henry Martin found the net, at 60 minutes. The momentum was now with The Eagles, who then scored again through a second effort from Henry Martin, 64 minutes in to establish a 2-0. In the end though, Los Bravos just before the final whistle pull-back via a Alan Medina goal. The match ended with a 2-1 victory for AME.

Substitutions for AME included Miguel Layun, Federico Vinas, Pedro Aquino and Jonathan Dos Santos for Diego Valdes, Jonathan Rodriguez, Richard Sanchez and Alvaro Fidalgo, repectively. Juárez brought on Alan Medina, Francisco Nevarez, Dario Lezcano and Fernando Arce, to replace Matias Garcia, Alberto Acosta, Jaime Gomez and Jesus Duenas.

There were bookings for Alex Zendejas and Miguel Layun from AME, and Carlos Salcedo, for Juárez.

AME will next travel to Pumas, while Juárez will face Pumas at home.
