Goalscoring Eagles, the hallmark of Fernando Ortíz
Since the arrival of the Argentine at the helm, América has appealed to the offensive mystique that the team has in its DNA.
Despite the fact that during his stay on the bench at América not everything has been hunky-dory for Fernando Ortíz, the reality is that the Argentine continues to post good numbers with his team.
The Eagles defeated Querétaro 1-0 on Tuesday night in the 2022 Apertura, held at the La Corregidora stadium. That result against the Gallos Blancos not only meant the fifth win in a row for those from Coapa, but also had a special meaning, in particular, for the azulcrema strategist.
With the single goal, scored by Emilio Lara, América has already surpassed, in fewer games, the number of goals it scored with Fernando Ortíz as its coach last season.
In Clausura 2022, El Tano took the helm of the Coapa team from matchday nine after the dismissal of Santiago Solari. From then on, the Argentine was involved for a total of 13 games: nine in the regular phase and four in the league. In that period, the Eagles scored 20 goals.
In the current Apertura 2022, América has played 10 games, three less than the total played with Tano last season, but has now already reached 21 goals. The average number of goals for the Águilas with Ortíz as their coach sits at 1.7 per game.
It’s the best offense in Liga MX at the moment, surpassing Monterrey (20), Toluca (18) and Santos (18).
