América Clinches Narrow 1-0 Win Over Querétaro in a Tense Liga MX Apertura 2025 Clash
Hey, let me fill you in on the intense match that just wrapped up between Club América and Querétaro in the Liga MX Apertura 2025, Jornada 4. It was a game filled with drama, tough tackles, and some moments that had everyone on the edge of their seats. The final score ended 1-0 in favor of América, but the story behind that score is pretty captivating.
The match was held at the Estadio de la Ciudad de los Deportes, and it didn’t start smoothly. A thunderstorm delayed kickoff by almost two hours, plus some technical issues with stadium lighting made things even more tense before the first whistle. When the teams finally hit the pitch, both came in with a lot to prove. América was eager to bounce back after a rough exit from the Leagues Cup and had been inconsistent in the league with just one win and two draws. Querétaro, meanwhile, was struggling badly, sitting at the bottom of the table with no wins and three losses. Both teams desperately needed those three points.

Right from the start, América showed some urgency. Brian Rodríguez and José Zúñiga were the main offensive threats, trying to break through Querétaro’s tight defense. And it was Dagoberto Espinoza who ended up scoring the lone goal of the match. It was a spectacular solo effort — he danced past several defenders before firing a powerful shot into the net to give América the lead early on.
The second half brought even more tension. Querétaro pushed hard to equalize, creating a couple of clear chances, but Ángel Malagón, América’s goalkeeper, was sharp and kept them at bay with some crucial saves. On the other side, América had a golden opportunity to double their lead when a penalty was awarded after Henry Martín was fouled in the box. But in a surprising twist, Querétaro’s goalkeeper Guillermo Allison guessed the right direction and saved the penalty, keeping his team in the game.
Querétaro was also reduced to ten men late in the match when Eduardo Armenta received a red card for a harsh foul, which made their task even harder. Despite their numerical disadvantage, they kept fighting until the final whistle, but no more goals came.
América’s win was hard-earned, and the team celebrated this important step toward improving their league position. It was also a night marked by milestones as players Alex Zendejas and Álvaro Fidalgo were honored for reaching 150 and 200 matches with the club, respectively. Although new signing Allan Saint-Maximin was expected to make an appearance or be introduced during the match, his debut was postponed, so fans will have to wait a bit longer to see him in action.
So overall, this match had everything — delays, weather drama, heroic saves, a beautiful goal, and intense rivalry moments. América got their much-needed win, while Querétaro continues to search for that elusive first victory of the season. The Liga MX Apertura 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting tournament, and this match was a perfect example of why.
