Santiago Solari and Roger Martínez lose their minds in Club América’s debut on Clausura 2022

Club América started its first game of the year with a stunning score. Just 10 seconds had passed since the referee started the game when América’s first goal of the second part of 2021-22 Liga MX Season arrived. And then they felt they already won the game, although there were 89 minutes left to play.

Solari was the first to lose his mind in the pitch of Estadio Cuauhtemoc, after Roger Martinez kicked Maxi Araújo in the middle of the pitch. The referee gave Martinez a yellow card, but Solari run from the other side of the pitch to face the referee.

The referee didn’t flinch and sent him off, but it only helped to spark Martínez’s anger, who was given a second yellow card a couple minutes after, when he kicked another Puebla player, Juan Pablo Segovia.

What neither of them had in consideration was that América didn´t have talented players on the bench, as none of their newest additions were available and they also had five players tested positive for Covid.

Jonathan dos Santos and Diego Valdez weren’t part of the squad

A couple days ago, Solari informed that neither Valdez or dos Santos would had their debut this week with Club América, as they weren’t ready. Valdez presented muscular distress and Jona is still catching up with the team after two months without activity.
