Bruno Valdez header gives Club América a point at Santos Laguna

Club América picked up a point with a 1-1 draw at Santos Laguna on Sunday, in the penultimate week of the regular season in the 2018 Liga MX Apertura.

The visitors threw on some early chances in the first half and came close to taking the lead early when Guido Rodriguez forced a save from Jonathan Orozco following a long-range effort.

Santos reacted quickly, and after Ayrton Preciado saw his initial effort saved, Julio Furch missed an incredible opportunity to put his team ahead. With an empty net in front, Furch failed to direct his header appropriately, and his chance went begging wide.
