The dominance of Mexican soccer over U.S. soccer continues. This has been demonstrated, once again, with América beating St. Louis City, as part of the 2023 edition of the Leagues Cup.

In an intense match played in the United States, the Eagles achieved, with much forcefulness and superiority, their first three points of this tournament between Liga MX and Major League Soccer (MLS).

Thanks to goals scored by center forward, Henry Martín, at 5 minutes of the first half; by another attacker, Julián Quiñones, at 51 minutes of the second half; by right back, Kevin Álvarez, at 54 minutes and by winger Alejandro Zendejas, at 77 minutes, Club América has made a great debut in this competition between the Mexican First Division championship and its U.S. league counterpart.

With an offensive and quality soccer, the Coapa team was able to impose itself from the first minutes. Martin's goal came when he combined with Quiñones to score a great goal in the small area.

The Águilas continued to dominate for the first 45 minutes, until, in the second half, the goals were scored.

Quiñones,Álvarez and Zendejas were on target to score and seal this new victory for the club coached by Brazilian trainer André Jardine.

This proves that Liga MX remains superior to MLS, despite the occasional surprises, as is always the case in soccer.

The U.S. team was unable to impose its home conditions, as well as the greater number of fans supporting them.

With this defeat, which they did not even know how it happened, the St. Louis City team has also been eliminated from this tournament between Mexico, Canada and the United States.

With this result, Club América reached its first three points of the tournament, so it will play against Columbus Crew for its qualification to the next round in the third and last match of the Group Stage. For their part, the St. Louis team has already been eliminated from the Leagues Cup 2023.
