Liga MX Wrap: America stay perfect, Leon win

Jimenez scored twice in the second half after breaking the deadlock in the first on Saturday to make it three wins from three for America in the Apertura campaign.

Oribe Peralta was also on the scoresheet for America, who defeated Spanish champions Atletico Madrid in the Copa EuroAmericana midweek.

The 23-year-old doubled the visitors' advantage with a 62nd-minute penalty before Peralta fired the ball beyond goalkeeper Rodolfo Cota 11 minutes later.

Friday's only other game saw Tijuana draw 1-1 at home to Tigres UANL.
