For him Americathe perspective of the glass half full or half empty fit like a glove with the 0-0 at home of the nashville in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Concachampionssince for some it could be considered as a positive result and for others negative in the face of the return duel.
The reality is that America is very far from its level of yesteryear, where it could aspire to better results, but now he had to finish the game in the state of Tennessee calling the time because the North American squad was closer to victory in the second half than the Americanists.

The duel was of low quality, because Nashville did not do what it had done to eliminate Inter Miami, which allowed the Americanists to have a better first half. where both Erick Sánchez and Alejandro Zendejas could do little to supply balls to Patricio Salas and with this the duel was endured by both teams in the first forty five minutes.
The Eagles wanted to put pressure and change the panorama of their result, but neither the entry of the Colombian José “Pantera” Zúñiga nor that of the Brazilian Vinicius Moreira could generate changes in the actions of the Eagles, especially because between the midfield and the attack of the Eagles there could have been too much connection to generate danger on Brian Schwake’s goal.
America really rode the action and only applied when Nashville in the second half hit the gas and created dangers with Sam Surridge and Patrick Yazbekamong others, but without being able to achieve its purpose so that the marker would not have movement.
But above all the action where Alex Muyl, in the final minutes, had a ball to shoot Rodolfo Cota and he flew his shot so that next week the return match will be played at the Azteca Stadium with the coin in the air.
