America open their season with a win in even match against Pachuca

America didn’t excite most fans, but they grabbed a 2-1 victory in their Apertura 2020 debut away in Pachuca. After a 1st half where they were somewhat dominated, America came out swinging and took advantage of a red card to get a lead and hold on for their first three points of the tournament. Pachuca meanwhile had most of the possession but they failed to do much with it, and overall had a very disappointing performance in the loss. America will now face their first home game in the Estadio Olimpico Universitario when they face Xolos on Saturday as Estadio Azteca is under construction, while Pachuca will have a tough away match in Monterrey against Tigres.
