Zendejas With Another Assist

Winger Continues Form After Winning Player of the Month

Alejandro Zendejas continued his impressive form for Club América, providing a crucial assist in their dramatic 3-2 home defeat to Necaxa. The U.S. international's pinpoint inswinging cross found Álvaro Fidalgo in the six-yard box in the 59th minute, allowing his teammate to score his second goal and temporarily draw América level.

The assist adds to what has been an outstanding start to 2024 for Zendejas, who was recently named Liga MX's Player of the Month for January after contributing three goals and three assists in just four matches. His creative influence helped propel Las Águilas to the top of the table with 16 points from a possible 18 before this weekend's setback.

Despite Zendejas' continued strong play, América couldn't maintain its unbeaten start to the Clausura. After falling behind 2-0 in the first half, it mounted a spirited comeback through Fidalgo's brace—the second created by Zendejas—but ultimately succumbed to Kevin Rosero's stoppage-time winner after being reduced to ten men. The defeat marks a rare stumble for Zendejas and América, who had been stellar since their Apertura title triumph.
