    Alex gets a yellow card.

    Then, gets deep to play one in front of goal, but takes a deflection that erases the danger.

    Zendejas shot deflects wide for a corner. He's looking to create it all himself.

    Rangel in the Chivas net takes saves a shot, then has the rebound attempt blasted into his face from close range.

    Zendejas vs Monterrey tonight. Tony Leone bench. Scoreless first half. America just had a goal called back for offside - Zendejas shot from the top of the box was saved but the rebound fell right to a teammate for a relatively easy rebound. Guy who passed to Zendejas was a foot or less offside.

    Fantastic line- breaking pass by Zendejas opens up the defense … and then Alvarez just dribbles over the endine.

    Sergio Ramos is MOTM if America never score. Best Real Madrid news today.

    Monterrey go up 1-0 on a long shot by Deossa that sneaks through a ton of defenders. The momentum had been with America leading up to that.

    Excellent run by Zendejas - badly beats a defender at full speed and gets off a shot at speed just before being closed down - good-looking shot but saved. Technically first shot on goal as the offside one officially didn’t happen.

    Zendejas starts the second leg of the Clausura semifinals against Cruz Azul. Lost the first leg 1-0, scoreless after halftime in this one.

    Long way back now - blue team opens tonights scoring for 1-0 / 2-0. Sanchez with a great touch at the back post, teeing up Faravelli at the penalty spot. Trouble for Zendejas and amigos.

    Ref may have just missed a penalty against the Cruz Azul keeper - keeper kind of missed the ball and then swiped with his arm at the leg of the striker - that's a penalty and a card in my book, but doesn't seem like it will be given. And the keeper is now also hurt.

    After watching some TV, the ref decides "la decision es penal."

    Martin makes the penalty, making it 1-1 / 2-1 in favor of Cruz Azul. Still need another. If this uses the weird "higher seed wins a tie" rule, then America need just one more.

    Off a corner kick, header flicked to the back post where Borja buries it with the keeper not able to get in position in time. Zendejas a decoy on the play. 2-1 / 2-2! Extremely concerned faces on people wearing blue shirts suddenly.

    Full time. Zendejas didn't even have a good match - may still be somewhat sick, but no one cares after a great second half comeback puts Club America in yet another final.

    Zendejas with the start against Toluca in the first leg of the Clausura final. Scoreless after the half.

    Disappointing first leg home draw for Zendejas and friends. I was planning type that he simply didn’t create enough … and then he had three good “final pass” type balls in the four minutes of second half stoppage time. But it still ends 0-0 and Club America will need to find a goal on the road on Sunday.
