America continues to accumulate trophies in the André Jardine era. Even with an alternative team, they had the luxury yesterday of adding the Liga MX Super Cup. Tigres (2-1) was the victim this time. Because the Champion of Champions was not going to be played this year, since the azulcremas were crowned in the recent two tournaments, the league implemented the Super Cup to face the two monarchs.

While the Euro and Copa América are taking center stage, Liga MX officially opened its calendar. With the stands packed at Dignity Health in Carson, California, coach Veljko Paunovic, in his return to Mexican soccer, had his star-studded cast. Las Águilas presented an alternative squad – seven national teams are competing in the continental competition. Tigres soon reflected this advantage on the field with ball possession and clarity in finding the opponent’s goal. Thus, in a triangulation in which André Pierre Gignac and Sebastián Córdova participated, Juan Brunetta (minute 6), after a double shot with his left leg, finished the play. When it seemed that the locals were close to scoring the second, the individualities of the blue-cream team woke up. The Dutchman Javairo Dilrosun emerged and skillfully created a small space outside the area and embedded the ball in the upper left corner of the goal.

Afterwards, Henry Martín, the captain, was in charge of doing the somersault. With this goal, number 104 for Martín with the current shirt, he reached Enrique Borja on the club’s list of historical scorers. Even though Tigres tried, América closed the game with skill.
