RECAP: Puebla vs América

  Yesterday's game versus Puebla built up a lot of hype for the spectators. It mainly circulated around América facing it's former idol Cuauhtémoc Blanco and Blanco facing the club that gave him his opportunity to play professional. Whichever way you saw it, for Americanistas this wasn't the game to miss.

  The game was played in Puebla at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc and the fans saw action right from the start. Even though the stadium was dominantly filled with América fans it was Puebla who started off strong by taking shots on target and hoping to bring an end to América's two game winning streak. Though at the 16th minute the game saw its first goal in favor of América. Michael Arroyo crossed the ball into the area where Raúl Jiménez barely makes contact with it at the far post in an angle that seemed almost impossible to score putting the game 1-0. The goal didn't kill Puebla's hopes as they continued taking shots to find their first goal.

  The Second half began and Puebla kept taking shots on goal in order to tie the game. Cuauhtémoc came in the 60th minute replacing Wilberto Cosme with hopes of raising Pubela's offensive momentum. Though the games defining moment came in the 62nd moment when Mauricio Romero committed a foul on Oribe Peralta inside the penalty area. Jiménez stepped up to take the shot and tucked it away smoothly in the bottom right of the goal making the score 2-0 for América. About 10 minutes later Jiménez filters a ball to Peralta, he cuts the ball to his right to remove a defender and then takes a shot with his left to make the score 3-0 and making his debut goal for América. The fourth and final goal was similar to Oribe's and came in the 76th minute where Jiménez cuts the ball and hits it with the outside of his right foot to put the score 4-0.
