Miguel Herrera and some American players ended up in push with LAFC elements, after a play where Ochoa received an aggression
ORLANDO – America’s partial win against LAFC in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Champions League at the end of the first half, ended in a brawl after the Angel team lost Eduard Atuesta, who was sent off for an alleged header over Memo Ochoa.
At the end of the claims, Miguel Herrera was expelled for the altercations. The strategist was sent to the stands, while his left eye was red due to the blow with the hand he received.
Between pushes and claims both squads saw the end of the first 45 minutes and after the hiss signaled the half time two technical bodies came to hand.
Luis Reyes was one of the first involved, while Federico Vinyes and Carlos Vela walked in the middle of the disorder that originated on one side of the field.
The hissing and refereeing body observed the actions, but did not intervene and did not draw any more cards among those involved.
The spirits reached their peak when the coach of the Eagles, Miguel Herrera, received a slap from a member of the coaching staff, which caused the spirits to return to normal and the Mexican coach responded with a push.
In the end both teams went to the locker room with America up on the scoreboard thanks to a header from Sebastian Cáceres.
