Club America started the first leg of its quarterfinal against Toluca about as well as possible Thursday, with Emanuel Aguilera heading in a goal in the seventh minute. Then, America let it slip away.
Alexis Vega's stoppage-time goal punished the Mexico City club's lax approach to the contest, as the game ended in a 2-2 draw that sends the series back to the Estadio Azteca with anyone still able to advance.
Vega put together a strong season and his goal, sending three America defenders the wrong way to push into the box unobstructed and then putting his finish past Agustin Marchesin, showed many of the reasons Mexico national team fans have been frustrated the 21-year-old hasn't been given his first cap.
