Liga MX Wrap: America maintain perfect record

Oribe Peralta and Miguel Layun were both on the scoresheet as league-leading America won away from home at the Estadio Universitario de Nuevo Leon.

America have now claimed maximum points from their opening four games in the Apertura campaign to sit two points clear of Atlas at the summit.

Mexico international Peralta opened the scoring in San Nicolas de los Garza, flicking the ball through his opponent's legs before firing it past goalkeeper Nahuel Guzman in the 22nd minute.

Queretaro cancelled out Djaniny's 20th-minute opener with goals from Camilo Sanvezzo and Emilio Lopez before the interval.

Santos Laguna were back on level terms in the 65th minute but the visitors claimed victory thanks to Willian's strike three minutes from time as Queretaro rose to third in the standings - three points behind America.
