Last-gasp Alexis Vega strike saves Toluca against Club América in Quarterfinals First Leg

Alexis Vega scored an injury-time equalizer as Toluca managed to earn a 2-2 draw with Club América in a dramatic night at the Estadio Nemesio Diez.

Las Águilas made a purposeful start to the game and took an early lead when a rebound inside the area following a free-kick fell to Emanuel Aguilera inside the box to smash into the back of the net.

With 21 minutes gone, Toluca had their first big chance of the game after Rubens Sambueza had a long-range free-kick blocked by Agustin Marchesin’s fingertips.

The chance inspired Toluca and put the visitors on the back foot.
