The home team demonstrated a higher match rhythm than the one displayed last Wednesday against Porto (0-2), as especially the first half was good with an exceptional Valeron. But in the end the team could not do better than to draw against America that came back twice. Deportivo went ahead with a goal from Valeron after 17 minutes. The playmaker of Depor, the master of their gamn, received good help from Mauro Silva near the edge of the America penalty box and surprised Adolfo Rios with a quick volley. The Mexican team replied instantly and drew level through the Uruguayan Sebastian Abreu. The America striker, on loan from Deportivo, beat Juanmi (in his first pre-season game) with a header after a cross from Franky Oviedo. Out of respect to the Deportivo crowd he didn’t want to celebrate it. (真是的...怎麼老是這樣啊...>.<) However, the joy for Leo Beenhakker's team did not last long as they conceded their second goal of the night after a defensive error by Alvaro Ortiz. The defender was unlucky enough to score an own goal from a Manuel Pablo cross. In the second half Deportivo had the chance to go further ahead, but Valeron was not fortunate with a shot after a brilliant personal play. Instead, America levelled the score for the second time after 68 minutes, with it putting the final score on the board. Torres shot from the left side of the penalty box and beat Juanmi, although with a deflection from Jesus Mendoza. In the end Abreu had two good opportunities to score the winner, but he failed twice against Juanmi. Deportivo coach Irureta had difficulties accepting to lose Makaay just before this match. “We lose a great goalscorer, but have to accept it. A Golden Boot winner, but the responsibility now is upon the players still here”. His comments on the match itself were: “I am satisfied, although we lacked pressure and speed at certain moment. We should improve these aspects, but we will do this week”. After the match America won the penalty shoot-out by four goals to three as Capdevila and Lionel Scaloni missed for Deportivo. Tonight (21h30) will see the match between America and Nacional de Montevideo while Deportivo will play the third (and final) match of the tournament on Wednesday against Nacional. -- ╯╰ ╮╭ <(═ ═)> --
