Diego Valdés returns with a bang, scoring a goal in his comeback match against Mazatlán at Kraken Stadium. After missing last Tuesday’s game due to an injury, Valdés made a significant impact on the field.
In the 53rd minute of the match, the Andean player scored the tying goal against Mazatlán, who had taken the lead in the first half. The goal was the result of a brilliant play by Alejandro Zendejas on the right side, who provided an excellent cross for Valdés to capitalize on.
Valdés had been sidelined since the weekend’s visit to Toluca, where he sustained an injury. As a result, he had to sit out the game against Pachuca earlier in the week. However, his return to action was a triumphant one, with the player already having notched up six goals in this tournament. Valdés has proven to be the most decisive player for the Águilas and has played a crucial role in their success so far in the Apertura 2023.
Following the equalizer, América maintained the pressure, and the team’s newcomer, Igor Lichnovsky, scored the go-ahead goal. Regardless of the outcome of this particular match, América will remain at the top of the Apertura 2023 standings.
It is clear that Diego Valdés’ return has bolstered América’s attacking strength, and his goal-scoring prowess will be crucial for the team as they continue their campaign in the tournament. Fans can expect great performances from Valdés in the upcoming matches as he strives to lead the Águilas to further success.
