oin our minute-by-minute coverage of the Pachuca vs América match in the Liga MX Quarter-finals, including goals and more

Final at the 'Hidalgo'

Pachuca survives and isn't hurt by América. Everything remains wide open for next Saturday's return match.

America insists

The Eagles aren't backing down; they want to go into the second leg with an advantage, knowing they were the better side tonight.

5 minutes of added time are determined in this very busy second half.

'Ponchitooooo'

Pachuca, building from the back, finished their play with Arturo González, who unleashed a left-footed shot after being given plenty of time. The shot went wide.

Last letters from the Gophers

Oussama Idrissi exits #11, Arturo González enters #14

Out #35 Jorge Berlanga, in #32 Carlos Sánchez

Contains Moreno

Cervantes dared to finish off a very constructed play with a shot lacking power that Moreno took a good chance to catch.

Kennedy reprimanded

While fighting a split, the Brazilian clashed with Sebastián Cáceres, and his first notable appearance was the yellow card he received.

Pachuca is greatly overwhelmed

The Tuzos have not reacted to the "Azulcrema" monologue. Guillermo Almada's changes have not worked out.

Aguirre flies!

Fidalgo played the bullfighter, waiting for the wall to return. Sánchez went for Aguirre, who was behind him, and sent it over.

Almada's second change

Pedro Pedraza leaves the field of play, and Santiago Homenchenko enters in his place.

On the lineeeeeeeeeee

The Tuza defense takes a bad position, Kevin takes too long, his shot is blocked, the rebound goes to Sánchez who is also blocked, and finally Aguirre is robbed of the goal by Bauermann's save on the line.

The rain takes its toll

The water is rising in the Bella Airosa and this has already caused multiple slips on both sides.

Move the visit

#11 Víctor Dávila leaves the field, in his place #27 Rodrigo Aguirre enters

The visit is on its way

América wants the advantage and starts to add several men when it heads towards Moreno's area.

That last touch

Magnificent work by Henry as a post to set up Zendejas, and the Mexican-American missed trying to connect with Sánchez.

Morenooooo

A free kick hits the opposite post and without any fuss, the goalkeeper clears it to the side.

Modify the premises

Exit #240 Juan Sigala, enter #187 Alexei Domínguez

Out goes #26 Alan Bautista, in goes #10 John Kennedy

Morenoooooo

Zendejas had already beaten him and finished with some space right in front of Carlos Moreno. The play was ruled out for an offside call.

Clash of heads

Service to the area where Ramón Juárez and Eduardo Bauermann were hit. Both are being treated.

Malagooooooon

América was left asking for a free kick, and González took advantage of this by crossing to Rondón. The Venezuelan ran into Malagón's hands.

Everything is still tense

Pachuca takes control of the ball at the start of the second half. Both teams look to force a mistake that could turn the game around.

Intractable Aceves

The Tuzos' number 3 defender is having a great game. He first intercepts Kevin and then rebounds the ball to keep possession.

Actions resume

Now America moves and so the second of four halves of the qualifying round gets underway.

The first part ends

After a tight corner kick in favor of the Tuzos, Jesús López points to the halfway line and we go to rest after 45 minutes.

Disbelief with the referee

Jesús López has called many "minor fouls" on both sides, and this has started to drive the players crazy.

Bauermann cautioned

Foul from behind #4 on Henry Martin. Eduardo Bauermann also cautioned.

What are you doing Dávilaaaaaaa!

Kevin Franco crossed into the box for Zendejas to arrive, but before doing so, Dávila cut off the action trying to finish himself.

Six minutes of added time have been added to this first half. Remember that there was a lengthy VAR intervention.

A dose of your own medicine

Pachuca also pushes its lines forward to pressure the opponent from the back. The duel of strategies is at its best.

Cáceres cautioned

Coming out from the back, the Uruguayan advanced his drive and ended up hitting Elías Montiel.

America is not taking advantage!

A quick counterattack that culminated in a pair of poor passes from Erick Sánchez, the former Pachuca player, on two occasions.

Jardine cautioned

Angry protests from the Rio de Janeiro strategist after a foul by Bauermann that went unreported.

Total concentration

América is looking to put the red card behind them, maintaining the same tone they've had throughout the first half.

The offside is confirmed

Pachuca is reassured by keeping its goalkeeper after Henry Martín's pinpoint misplacement.

It goes to the VAR

A possible offside could save Carlos Moreno from continuing in the match.

Waiting time

While Pachuca's substitute goalkeeper warms up, the referee awaits any indication from the VAR.

Expelled Morenooooooo

A high ball to Henry Martín, but goalkeeper Tuzo comes out to block it. He doesn't touch the ball, takes Henry down, and the referee immediately sends off Carlos Moreno.

Dávila reprimanded

A play was tied up in three-quarters of his field and Dávila tripped Pedro Pedraza, which gave him a caution.

Dissatisfied Almada

The Uruguayan strategist observes with dissatisfaction that his team is failing to make a name for itself. The offense quickly stalls.

America remains dominant

The high pressure has taken its toll, and Pachuca has not managed to emerge more clearly.

Intense Jardine

América looks more balanced on the pitch. André Jardine doesn't want any lapses in concentration and is constantly giving instructions.

Berlanga cautioned

Cáceres was robbed and on the way out, the Uruguayan was swept aside by the Tuzos number 35 at the wrong time.

Pachuca grows

The home side is now looking for longer possessions and creating a sense of danger when they approach the penalty area.

Attention for Cáceres

The Uruguayan defender collided with the goalkeeper, taking the brunt of the injury with contact to the face. He is now receiving treatment.

Strong crash

In a divided ball from the air, Erick Sánchez brought down Alan Bautista. No foul was called, and the match resumed as normal.

'Blue Cream' Start

The visiting team takes possession of the ball in these opening minutes. A high press aims to prevent Pachuca from launching counterattacks at speed.

The meeting begins!

The home team moves at the whistle of Jesús López and the first 45 minutes of this unmissable series between Águilas and Tuzos get underway.
