Rodrigo Aguirre Leads Club América to Victory Against Toluca in Apertura 2024 Quarterfinals

In the highly anticipated quarterfinal match of the Apertura 2024, Club América‘s Rodrigo Aguirre played a crucial role in securing a victory against Toluca. The match, which took place on November 27, saw Aguirre score a decisive header to break the deadlock and give América a 1-0 lead.

Aguirre, who recently joined Club América, emphasized that despite Toluca’s favorable position in the league table, the knockout stage is a different scenario. “The football is like that, today we know that we start from zero, it’s them against us and it doesn’t matter the position in the table,” he stated in a pre-match conference. He also reflected on the last encounter between the two teams, where América won 4-0, noting that the score was somewhat inflated and that Toluca presented significant challenges.

The Uruguayan forward expressed his gratitude to the América fans and the team’s support staff, highlighting the importance of their backing. “Let them accompany us, let them be with us, because it gives us that plus, that strength. It’s nice to feel accompanied and to know that we have their support,” Aguirre said.

Aguirre’s goal was a significant moment in the match, showcasing his skill and determination. This victory is a testament to his hard work and adaptation since joining Club América, especially after a less active period with his previous team in Monterrey).
