First leg of La Gran Final begins badly for Club America - keeper Malagon commits a deeply unnecessary penalty, clipping the ankle of a striker well after the ball is gone, and Antuna converts the penalty kick. 1-0 Cruz Azul.
EQUALIZER - Zendejas run up the wing touched out for a throw. Quick throw toward the corner by Alex to Martin - good communication between those two - and Martin places his ball across the face of goal perfectly, leaving Quinones an easy finish. 1-1.
Zendejas suffers a rough foul and gets his hand/wrist stepped on to boot. Trying to shake it off, but clearly in pain.
Spectacular angled ball from midfield to Quinones behind the defense in the box by Zendejas. Quinones touches it on frame and past the keeper - but there is so little pace on it a defender catches up to it and clears off the goal line.
Full time draw. Stat sheet doesn’t look great, but he was a positive contributor and a couple of his best plays didn’t technically count. Chance for a trophy on Sunday…
