Perhaps the only subject that wasn't approved by Miguel Herrera during his stint as Club America's coach was achievinginternational success. Last year, las Aguilas were eliminated in the Group Stage of CONCACAF Champions League with Herrera at the helm, and it was one of the most important tasks Antonio Mohamed's staff had to undertake: advancing the team into the knockout stage. Yesterday, the current leader at the Apertura 2014 tournament staged the all-time greatest scoring fest at CONCACAF Champions League.
Club America thrashed FC Bayamon with a score of 10-1, the highest scoring fiesta ever recorded at the regional tournament. With hat-tricks by Luis Gabriel Rey and Martin Zuñiga, las Aguilas ended the first half with a 6-0 lead, also establishing a record for most goals before halftime.
"With Martin Eduardo Zuñiga's goal, Club America has set a new historic record at CCL, scoring six goals in one half."

Las Aguilas gave their fans a night to remember, we'll let you read some of their reactions after yesterday's show:
The minutes that Club America scored goals tonight in CCL: 3, 4, 5, 14, 35, 42, 58, 67, 87, and 88. Yup, 10 goals in CCL.

Not much is being said about Club America scoring ten goals today. Historic.
Se habla poco de que el Club América hoy metió 10 goles. Histórico.

Club America will play against Pachuca this Saturday at Azteca Stadium, hoping to keep the first place for Apertura 2014.
