On Saturday, April 4, in Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico, Santos Laguna and Club America met at the Estadio Corona in a match corresponding to the 13th round of the Liga MX Apertura 2023 tournament.
America went into this match after a defeat in the previous matchday. The 1-0 defeat to Pumas had left mixed feelings, especially because of what happened in the final minutes, when the result was finally decided.
With this background, the match in Torreon was an opportunity to get back on track.
The development of the match was different from expected. Neither team managed to take control clearly, and the game remained close, with few actions that really made a difference.
Alexis Gutierrez scored the first and only goal for America at a time when the game was still open, while Cristian Dajome responded for Santos to equalize the match.
With the final 1-1 score, America achieved a result that allows it to remain in competition. After this match, the team reaches 18 points and is in sixth place in the table, although it has not yet managed to show its full potential.
