Atl San Luis vs America

Atl San Luis vs America: The Liga MX itinerary brought Club América to Estadio Alfonso Lastras Ramírez on September 24, 2025, for a tense, low-scoring clash with Atlético San Luis. The visitors left with three points thanks to a last-gasp moment of individual brilliance from Alejandro Zendejas — a finish that broke a stubborn deadlock and kept América moving toward the top end of the Apertura table. Below you’ll find a fan-friendly, journalist-grade wrap that explains what happened, how it happened, the tactical story underneath the scoreline, and what this result means for both clubs going forward.

Atl San Luis vs America — the short version

1) The decisive moment — Zendejas’ late brilliance

What separated the teams was a single moment near the 89th minute. Alejandro Zendejas — lively throughout the second half — created a space, cut into the box and finished with composure to beat the goalkeeper and secure the three points for América. It wasn’t an accidental tap-in: most outlets called it an individual masterpiece and a well-executed counter-punch after sustained visiting pressure. If you want the highlight, official broadcasts and clips (TUDN/YouTube) captured the moment clearly.

2) Tactical snapshot — why chances were rare

Both teams set up conservatively early on. San Luis deployed a 4-2-3-1 that aimed to overload midfield and force América to play through narrow channels, while América set up with a flexible five-in-mid/defensive shape that became a 5-4-1 when out of possession — compact, disciplined and hard to break down. That tactical stalemate meant clear-cut chances were scarce; most of the action consisted of half-chances, set-piece hunts and physical midfield battles. The game only opened when América pushed more players forward late in search of the win.

3) Big game, tight finishing — player moments to remember

4) What the stats said (control without domination)

Statistically this was a narrow, low-event game: shots on target were limited for both teams, possession was fairly balanced, and the big moment (goal) only arrived late. The box score shows América converting a small share of their chances — proof that a single elite finishing moment can decide a tight Liga MX fixture. For match-by-match boxscore detail consult the post-match pages at ESPN, Fox Sports or FotMob.

5) Coaches & substitutions — late game management paid off

Both managers were cautious with early changes, showing trust in their starting XIs. América’s bench moves late in the game aimed to increase tempo and create overloads down the flanks; those substitutions helped overload the San Luis left and created the scenario where Zendejas could flourish. San Luis pushed for more attacking intensity after going behind but ran out of time. Tactical substitutions and minute-management in Liga MX often decide these tight matches.

6) Standings implications — América keeps climbing

With the victory América remained among the tournament leaders, keeping momentum for the run toward the Liguilla places. Atlético San Luis, meanwhile, continues to hover in the mid-table region and will need better attacking returns if they plan to challenge for playoff positions later in the Apertura. The standings after matchday 10 show América in the top five, while San Luis sit in the lower half — this result preserves that separation for another week.

7) What supporters are saying — social buzz and reaction

Fans on both sides reacted quickly on social platforms:

8) Injury watch — a note on Rodrigo Aguirre

A worrying moment for América came when Rodrigo Aguirre suffered a significant facial/eye injury and had to leave the match before halftime. Early reports indicated he took a blow that required substitution and medical attention; follow official club channels for updates on his availability. Any absence of Aguirre ramps up the need for América’s attacking rotation to stay sharp.
