América had fun at their own home (Estadio AKRON) last time out, beating León 2-1. Federico Viñas and Henry Martín scored. Preceding that game was the away victory against Tijuana with the score of 2-0.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager S. Solari Poggio when Federico Viñas scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 63rd minute. Late drama in the previous game, when Federico Viñas scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time to defeat León.

América has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 12 goals from 8 games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as América have conceded 13 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
