América win fifth match in a row, defeat Querétaro 1-0 | OneFootball

Club América are on an absolute tear in Liga MX at the moment and continued their blistering form with a 1-0 away win at Querétaro late Tuesday evening.

Goals: Lara 48′

The Eagles have catapulted up to third place in the league as they have now outscored their opponents by an incredible 16-1 margin over their last five matches, earning four consecutive clean sheets and all 15 points over that span.

Having already notched three assists this season, young Emilio Lara was the hero for América, scoring just minutes into the second half for his first professional goal.

A cross was sent in by Jonathan Rodríguez from the left wing, which found the head of Henry Martín. The ball floated off Martín and into the oncoming path of Lara who beat Pablo Barrera with his outstretched foot, tapping the ball into the net.

The Eagles are just two points behind both Toluca and Monterey as Rayado fell 1-0 at Chivas earlier in the night.
