América played their fifth game of the season yesterday at home against their television rival Monarcas Morelia. Not much action was seen in the first half between the 2 though several shots were taking, but left wide on goal. One exciting moment in the first half came when Luis Gabriel Rey heads the ball to Oribe Peralta to score a spectacular bicycle kick to make the score 1-0, but the linesman ruled it offside. The 1st goal of the game came at the 38th minute when América had a free kick in front of the opposing goal. Rubens Sambueza goes up to the spot and instead of taking a shot he gives a through ball to Paul Aguilar where he takes the ball deep into the area and at the last moment centers the ball to Pablo Aguilar where he heads it in the back of the net making the game 1-0 in favor of América.
The second half started and within the first 7 minutes Morelia scores their first goal of the season and the equalizer putting the game 1-1. Carlos Morales from Morelia centered the ball to the farthest post of América's goal where Duvier Riascos was left unmarked by the azulcrema defense to heads the ball in the goal to tie the game.
The tie would last a short while as Sambueza takes a shot from outside of the area with his left foot to make the score 2-1 for América. After Sambueza's goal América continued to try and find more goals as they kept the shots knocking onto Morelia's goal. A clear goal game from Luis Gabriel Rey with hopes of putting the score up 3-1, but Carlos Rodríguez did an extraordinary job of blocking the shot.
Morelia is given a corner kick in the 74th minute, the ball is headed by a player from Morelia to put the ball at the feet of David Depetris to tie the game up at 2-2.
Around the the 77th Minute Mohamed makes an offensive change by taking out Arroyo and replacing him with Martín Zúñiga to see if he can make the score 3-2 for América. Within minutes of coming in Zúñiga takes a shot on goal, but it's denied by Rodríguez.
Towards the end of the game the 4th official adds 4 minutes of stoppage time to the clock. Within one of the last plays of the game Luis "Quick" Mendoza centers the ball to Martín Zúñiga in the Morelia area. Zúñiga controls it briefly, but a defender from Morelia comes from behind and clears the ball out insuring he's prevented anything from happening. Though he taps it lightly where the ball stays in the area and falls right in front of Peralta. Rodríguez comes out to try and prevent Oribe's shot from going in, but Peralta shoots the ball between Rodríguez's legs and puts the final score 3-2 in favor of América.
