Alvarez, Suarez and Quinones sealed a defeat for America at the hands of the Brazilian Jardine

Mexico, July 15 (EFE). – Team America, who are coached by Brazilian coach Andre Jardin, claimed their first victory in the Mexican Opening Championships this Saturday with a 3-0 victory over Puebla.

Mexican Kevin Alvarez, Argentine Leo Suarez and Colombian Julian Quinones turned to América de Jardin, who lost his debut in two matches.

In the first half, America took advantage of two goals and could have made it to the second half with at least one more goal.

Colombian Quinones, Chilean Diego Valdes and Spaniard Alvaro Fidalgo created danger in the first 30 minutes.

But it was Mexican Alvarez who made it 1-0 after a pass from Quinones.

Puebla had a difficult time climbing over the opposition area in a duel in which the home team suggested the game more and at 45 + 2 they increased the advantage with a left-footed goal from Suárez to a pass from Valdés.

América kept control of the match in the 45th minute extra that Puebla had no way of responding to the constant attack from their opponents.

Aguilas roamed the area and created some scoring chances, most evidently in the 85th minute, when Suarez headed the ball off the crossbar.

Valdés started offensively in ’87; He put the ball to the Uruguayan Brian Rodriguez, exactly in the pass to Quinones, who with the correct touch made it 3-0, his first goal with Azulcremas, who signed him this summer.

The third opening date kicked off Thursday. Chivas de Guadalajara, led by Serbian-Spanish coach Veliko Paunović, established himself as the leader by defeating Necaxa 2-0 with goals from Fernando Beltran and Juan Brigido.

After Atlas held a goalless draw at Santos Laguna, Chivas excelled in their field and confirmed it on the scoreboard to maintain their perfect pace in three games.

This Friday, Ecuadorian Joao Rojas scored two goals and Argentine Germán Bertiram, one goal, to sign the Monterrey team’s planned victory, 0-3 at Mazatlán.

In the other match on Friday, Tijuana beat Cruz Azul 2-1 with a goal from Paraguay’s Carlos Gonzalez and an own goal from Colombia’s Debre Campendo. Uruguayan Ignacio Rivero scored for Cruz Azul.

This Saturday, San Luis crushed Queretaro 4-1, in a duel that went one way.

It will continue Saturday later with champions Tigres UANL at home against Lyon.

On Sunday, Toluca will host Juarez and Pachuca Pumas. EFE
