Nashville couldn't find the net and America salvaged a 0-0 draw in the Concachampions
Nashville couldn't find the net against America and the Eagles will arrive next week at Estadio Banorte with the advantage of the 0-0 draw
For America, the glass-half-full or half-empty perspective was a perfect fit with the 0-0 draw at Nashville's home ground in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Champions League, which for some could be considered a positive result and for others a negative one heading into the second leg. The reality is that America is far from its former level, where it could aspire to better results, but now it had to finish the game in Tennessee hanging on for dear life because the North American squad was closer to victory in the second half than the Americanistas. America had to resort to almost spectacular saves from Ramon Juarez to prevent his goal from being breached with a scorpion kick and then from Rodolfo Cota with a shot from the worst possible attack by the Americans. The Americanista team will arrive at the Azteca Stadium with the advantage of not conceding a goal as the away team, but, on the contrary, it is at risk that, with a goal from the Americans, things will get complicated for them with the away goal rule in the tiebreaker. The match was of low quality, because Nashville also failed to deliver. which they had put in place to eliminate Inter Miami, thus allowing Club America to have a better first half, where both Erick Sanchez and Alejandro Zendejas could do little to supply Patricio Salas with passes, and with this, the match was managed by both teams in the first 45 minutes. The Eagles wanted to press and change the course of their result, but neither the introduction of Colombian Jose “Pantera” Zuniga nor that of Brazilian Vinicius Moreira could generate changes in the Eagles' performance, especially because there could have been too much connection between the midfield and the attack of the Eagles to create danger on Brian Schwake's goal. America really managed the actions and only became more aggressive when Nashville stepped up the pace in the second half and created dangers with Sam Surridge and Patrick Yazbek. Among others, but without being able to achieve their goal of keeping the score unchanged. But above all, the play where Alex Muyl, in the final minutes,had a perfect opportunity to shoot past Rodolfo Cota and sent his shot so that next week's second leg at the Azteca Stadium will be played with the outcome still uncertain.
