What is Club América’s record against Santos Laguna at the Azteca?
Ahead of Santos Laguna’s Apertura 2023 visit to the Azteca this weekend, we take a look at Club América’s recent home meetings with Los Guerreros.
Santos Laguna, who visit the Estado Azteca this weekend, have not had a good away record against Club América in recent years. Indeed, Los Guerreros have only managed one Liga MX victory on the road against América in just under a decade.
That win came in November 2019, on matchday 17 of the Apertura 2019 tournament. The six-time Mexican champions triumphed 2-1 thanks to goals by Diego Valdés - who now plays for América - and Bryan Lozano. Andrés Felipe Ibargüen had opened the scoring for Las Águilas.
Santos’ only away win over América in nine years
That narrow victory aside, you have to go all the way back to March 2014 to find a Santos victory at the Azteca.
Goals by Darwin Quintero, Andrés Rentería, Oribe Peralta and Juan Pablo Rodríguez earned the visitors a 4-2 win on matchday 10 of the Clausura 2014, with Rubens Sambueza and Andrés Ríos on target for the home team.
Águilas’ overall home win rate vs Santos
In total, América have won 22 of the clubs’ 33 Liga MX meetings at the Azteca since the Mexican league introduced the short-tournament format in 1996.
