📝 Atlético de San Luis survive late comeback by 10-man América | OneFootball

The wait for their first win of the season continues for Club América after losing 3-2 at home against Atlético de San Luis on Saturday.

Scorers: Martínez 91′, Martín 94′; Unai Bilbao 6′, Hernández 54′, Berterame 61′

San Luis started the better of the two sides with central defender Unai Bilbao opening the score in the sixth minute with a towering header from a corner.

Despite this América had the better of the possession throughout the encounter but lacked penetration.

The closest they came in the first half was a right-footed curling effort from Álvaro Fidalgo which grazed the outside of the post in the 16th minute.

In the second half, pushing for an equaliser Los Azul-Cremas left themselves exposed at the back. Two quick counterattacks in the space of seven minutes put the game beyond the hosts.

Abel Hernández tapped into an empty net in the 54th minute before turning provider in the 61st as Germán Berterame put the game to bed, slotting his shot between Guillermo Ochoa’s legs, who made five key saves on the night.

A bad night for América was capped off in the 85th minute when right-back Miguel Layún received a straight red card for a reckless challenge.

San Luis survived a late comeback by Las Águilas. Colombian striker Roger Martínez fired into the roof of the net from close range in the 91st and Henry Martín’s inch-perfect header three minutes later teed up a tense finale.

In the end, the deficit was too much for them to overcome, losing 3-2.

This result means Atlético de San Luis recorded their first victory of the season and climb the table into 12th place.

Meanwhile, Amércia are winless in three and will be casting their eyes towards next Saturday’s trip to Santos Laguna hoping to pick up their first three points of the season.
