América turned to all its star players against Puebla, to try to close the regular phase of the 2022 Apertura as the general leader
América did not reserve any important piece for the last game of the regular tournament against Puebla, a match that could represent the leadership of the Apertura 2022 team for the Azulcrema team.
Coach Fernando Ortiz resorted to all his available star elements for this match held at the Cuauhtémoc Stadium and the only absence they have for the match is that of left back Luis Fuentes.
The azulcrema team is at the top of the championship with 35 units and is followed by Monterrey, which has 34, so they must win to maintain first place in the competition.
In goal Fernando Ortiz came out with Guillermo Ochoa, while the defenders were Miguel Layún, Emilio Lara, Néstor Araujo and Salvador Reyes.
In midfield are Richard Sánchez, Álvaro Fidalgo, Alejandro Zendejas and in attack will be Jonathan Rodríguez, Roger Martínez and Henry Martín, the latter is fighting for the scoring championship, so one goal is enough to match the leader of the Nico Ibanez table.
Elements such as Sebastián Cáceres, Pedro Aquino and Diego Valdés will be waiting for their turn on the substitutes’ bench, due to the activity they had in the middle of the week with their respective teams and they were able to train alongside their teammates on Thursday.
This could be the seventeenth time that América has finished in first place in the Mexican tournament, which keeps them as the club that occupies this privileged position the most times.
