In an impressive display, Club América defeated Necaxa 2-0 in the match for matchday 4 of the Clausura. The home team dominated the game and denied the visitors any chance of scoring. Brian Rodríguez broke the deadlock in the 35th minute of the first half, followed shortly by Víctor Dávila extending the lead just four minutes later, ensuring a solid victory for the Águilas.
Club América had moments of near-missed opportunities, with Rodríguez hitting the post twice during the match. However, he was undoubtedly the standout player, contributing significantly to the team’s offense with a goal and four shots on target.
Another crucial player for the home side was Henry Martín, who made three attempts on goal, showcasing the offensive strategy laid out by their coach, André Jardine. He employed a 4-3-3 formation, starting with Luis Malagón in goal, supported by a defensive line of Kevin Álvarez, Sebastián Cáceres, Ramón Juárez, and Cristian Borja. The midfield consisted of Jonathan dos Santos, Rodrigo Dourado, and Érick Sánchez, while the attack featured Dávila, José Zúñiga, and Rodríguez.
On the other hand, Necaxa, managed by Martín Varini, set up in a 5-3-2 formation. Ezequiel Unsain was in goal, backed by defenders Kevin Ante, Alexis Peña, Raúl Martínez, Agustin Oliveros, and Franco Rossano. The midfield featured Kevin Gutiérrez, Lorenzo Faravelli, and Israel Tello, with Tomás Badaloni and Ricardo Monreal leading the attack.
The match was officiated by referee Guillermo Pacheco Larios, who oversaw an intense game.
