San Luis vs América Match Preview
San Luis dropped a controversial decision at home to América just a few weeks ago, spurring their "older brother" to a string of results that ultimately had them taking the fourth seed ahead of the Gladiators.Now, at the Alfonso Lastras, the Ignacio Ambriz-coached team will be looking for sweet revenge when they face the visiting Eagles this Wednesday night.
Building an early lead and not letting their home-field advantage go for naught will be key for the Gladiators, as América are nearly unbeatable at the Estadio Azteca, losing just one of their last 26 matches in their home ground.
Othoniel Arce and Michael Arroyo will spearhead the home team's attack in search of penetrating Guillermo Ochoa's net - a tough sell considering América only gave up 16 goals in 17 matches, while San Luis' offense was also somewhat meager, scoring 21 goals - the lowest total among the eight qualified teams.
América on the other hand, will most likely continue with their smash-and-grab approach, using Matias Vuoso's physical prowess up front combined with Daniel Marquez's outstanding heading abilities to grab a potential 1-0 or 2-1 advantage; they might have to do so without playmaker Daniel Montenegro, who still has not been cleared to play due to injury.
San Luis vs América Match Report
An absolute snooze-worthy match at the Alfonso Lastras made América goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa a hero after he stopped a barrage of home team chances late in the second half, staving off a San Luis rally that could've given the fifth seeded Gladiators an edge going into the second leg in the Estadio Azteca.América manager Manuel Lapuente fielded an ultra-conservative lineup that produced almost no chances during the 90 minutes. San Luis tried to thread through balls to their strikers and win out thanks to their speed -- but constantly ran into brick walls named Aquivaldo Mosquera and Juan Carlos Valenzuela.
The draw is ultimately a bad result for San Luis, who will be eliminated with a draw or any negative result at the Estadio Azteca.
