Overview

  • The French winger entered around the 62nd minute and struck in the 89th after a diagonal from Isaías Violante, with Víctor Dávila adding a stoppage‑time rebound following a saved penalty.
  • Brian Rodríguez opened for América from the spot, while Atlas replied through Gustavo del Prete before halftime and Diego González early in the second half.
  • Play featured a lengthy weather delay under the electrical‑storm protocol at Estadio Jalisco.
  • VAR annulled an Atlas goal for offside, referee Marco Antonio Ortiz awarded two penalties to América and sent off Aldo Rocha, calls that were widely contested.
  • América sits on 14 points in second place and remains unbeaten; coach André Jardine praised Saint‑Maximin as a top‑level player, and the debutant drew attention with a sharp reply to a rival fan on X.
