Club América and Tijuana open the season with a 0-0 draw

Key Highlights

• The first 10 minutes were all Tijuana as they had possession of the ball and tried to take an early lead when youngster Gilberto Mora headed the ball towards the net but the Aguilas defense held firm.
• The visitors didn’t have their first chance at goal until the 15th minute thanks to Alexis Gutierrez who was able to get the ball to Rodrigo Aguirre but the Uruguayan was unable to finish his shot.

• Frenchman Allan Saint-Maxim stole the ball and made his way into Tijuana’s box.
• He then sent the ball to the other side where Aguirre was there to head it towards the center where Raul Zuñiga headed the ball into the back of the net.
• The goal was immediately called back due to the SAOT system that found Zuñiga was in an offside position. It can be debated that this play was the most exciting part of the match as this game was an example of a matchday one game.
