Liga MX Wrap: America maintain perfect record
America preserved their perfect start to the season after they defeated Tigres UANL 2-0 in Liga MX on Saturday.
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.
Atlas - the only other unbeaten team in the league - were 1-0 winners at Pumas UNAM on Sunday.
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.
Layun made sure of the win just past the hour-mark as he placed the ball beyond Guzman.
In other results, Queretaro came from behind to beat Santos Laguna 3-2 on Saturday.
Queretaro cancelled out Djaniny's 20th-minute opener with goals from Camilo Sanvezzo and Emilio Lopez before the interval.
