Herrera praised the solidity of Club América, highlighting the performance of the rival squad and its replacements. During the first moments of the match, while both teams had 11 players on the field, the game remained balanced, with Club Tijuana handling the ball well and defending solidly.
“Until they upset us, yes. After the mismatch I know, because in 11 vs 11 I didn’t see the powerful America. Strong, solid, but we fought as equals.”

Statements by Miguel Herrera
However, the expulsion of a Xolos player changed the dynamics of the match. Herrera argued that from that moment on, the game tilted in favor of América, and the lack of a player had an impact on the team’s performance.
“We had a couple of clear opportunities on goal. It was an even game and we were trying to handle the ball, the spaces were closed and it was an even game, until the expulsion came the balance tipped and then they score the goal and force you to force yourself to search and against these teams with those squads, no You can give that away.” she pointed out.
The ‘Piojo’ also expressed his discontent with the refereeing decisions, suggesting that the yellow and red cards were applied inconsistently, which negatively affected his team. For him, the lack of consistency in referee decisions was a key factor in the result of the match.
“The cards were clear here and not there. There were similar plays. If you are going to serve, let it be from both sides. It is not consistent with what it beeps and it is not consistent with the cards. For one side he serves quickly and for the other side he does. “she declared.
