Once thos victory over Tigres, the compromise increase tenfold for The team of Greg Vanney, against a Club America that penetrated five times the Alex Bono door in a pre season match.

A couple of mistakes from the part of
The U de Nuevo León cost them dearly and the team have to assume those mistakes.
At 64′ Carioca scores in his own door and everything turns more difficult for Tigres, The felin club got a bit of a respite by Edu Vargas at minute 69′.
Javier Aquino and Jurgen Damm were the most fastest on both sides, but never had a pass with succes to find striker, Andre Pierre Gignac.
On minute 73′, “Il Capo”, Sebastian Giovinco, scores his trademark golazo with the help of Nahuel Guzman, who apparently couldn’t make more to save his door.
At minute 84′, the ex-Marseille player, Gignac, imposes his grandeur and scores the second goal for the Nueva Leon club.
