The Tricampeón América was unable to take advantage of its local status in the Mexican capital and did not pass a 0-0 on Thursday against Toluca, in the first leg of the final of the Clausura tournament.
After a dazzled duel in the Stadium of the city of Sports,the definition of the Mexican football monarch was reserved for Sunday. the Red Devils will be hosts of the duel back in Nemesio Diez of the central city of Toluca.
The Eagles monopolized the possession of the ball, but when they reached the definition zone they did not execute effectively. Thus, they were unable to specify their domain on the scoreboard.
Christian Borja generated the best of the danger actions of the bluecremas in the course of the first half, when he shot very close to the final line. The ball was clear a few centimeters from the goal line by Bruno Fernández.
Rodrigo Aguirre wasted the best of the actions in the complement, after making a bad shot of a filtered pass that left him with an advantage to face the goal in the final stretch.
“It was a fairly closed match, I think Toluca came to defend himself with enough force. For me, we made a game with more initiative, but we were not so lucid in the final third, in recent passes, in centers that could generate goals and in others that we were a little more lucid, we did not know how to realize,” said Brazilian André Jardine, Americanist strategist. “It is very open and I imagine that it will be another final like what we saw here and the forcefulness will make a difference.”
The Red Devils also did not generate great trouble on the arc defended by Luis Ángel Malagón. Less after not having the presence in the call of Paulihno, the Portuguese striker, scoring champion, who resented a muscular discomfort.
“The sensations are good. We made a great game on the defensive part, they made a single goal shot throughout the game and that was very good,” said Argentine Antonio Mohamed, coach of Toluca. “Nothing more … rest,knowing that the second leg will be the same or more intense than today. We know which rival we play and I think it will be more difficult than today.”
America is looking for a fourth consecutive title, an achievement that has not conquered in Mexican football in the era of the league, which began in 1970.
Chivas de Guadalajara has been the only tetracampeon in Mexico, with four scepters that spun in the late 50s and early 60s.
On the benches, Mohamed and Jardine will resolve on Sunday who joins the select group of six coaches with at least four crowns in Mexican football.
