Club América secured a narrow 1-0 win over Querétaro in the Primera Division Apertura, courtesy of a late goal from Isaias Violante. The visitors dominated the ball with 62% possession and had 17 total shots to Querétaro's 10, but needed until the 83rd minute to find the breakthrough.
After a scrappy first half littered with yellow cards, the game opened up after the break. Henry Martín provided the assist for Violante to slot home the winner in the 83rd minute. América then had to see out the final moments with ten men after Alan Cervantes received a second yellow card in the 88th minute.
Despite controlling the match, América were far from clinical – they had only 5 shots on target from 17 attempts and missed one big chance. Querétaro, meanwhile, created three big chances but failed to take any, managing just 2 shots on target from their 10 attempts. The visitors' expected goals of 1.74 reflected their overall dominance, while Querétaro's 0.72 told a story of missed opportunities.
