* The Águilas are having a poor start to the tournament, only adding one point out of six possible
Mexico City, January 14, 2026.- América is having a very poor start to the tournament, and not only have the results not accompanied them, they are also clueless on the field and now they lost at home 2-0 against Atlético de San Luis.
The Águilas are being a disaster, the team is not even a shadow of what it was until a year ago when they were three-time Mexican soccer champions.
The big problem that America is presenting in this start is that due to their lack of idea they do not produce dangerous plays either. Against the Potosinos they only created one dangerous option in front of Andrés Sánchez’s goal, which was at the beginning of the game with a shot by Rodrigo Aguirre that hit the post.
San Luis did not shrink, and everything fell into place when Ramón Juárez was sent off for a trip when he was the last man and Joao Pedro was already escaping.
With one man less, América settled in, Jardine took out Patricio Salas to bring in Sebastián Cáceres and calm the waters a bit.
Although the first half ended in a goalless tie, the gas was no longer enough for the locals and at 52′ Sanabria scored the first goal of the match, which silenced the Americanism in the Ciudad de los Deportes.
América had no reaction, Jardine turned to Brian Rodríguez who for some strange reason is not a starter due to the team’s various offensive losses and despite the fact that he was one of the team’s scorers last semester.
The disaster ended up being confirmed with the way in which Joao Pedro scored the second goal and the one that made the Azulcremas fans the most angry, and it was a truly crazy goal that showed how bad the American defense is.
The result was not tolerated in the slightest by the fans of America and that is why the final minutes were dedicated to booing some of the players with everything, the main target being Kevin Álvarez.
