Oribe Peralta salvó al América de perder el liderato general del Torneo Apertura 2014 de la Liga MX , ya que con un gol en el último minuto logró empatar el marcador a dos ante el Toluca.
Con este marcador, la escuadra americanista está muy cerca de mantenerse en la punta con miras a la liguilla, ya que después de 16 fechas jugadas, aparte del cuadro azulcrema, ya son tres los equipos que aseguraron jugar la llamada ‘fiesta grande’ del fútbol mexicano, siendo el Toluca, Tigres y Atlas los equipos invitados.
Sin embargo, a falta de una jornada para que finalice el torneo regular, todavía ocho escuadras mantienen sus aspiraciones de seguir con vida en la justa azteca, siendo los equipos de Jaguares y Monterrey los cuadros que tienen un pie dentro, luego de su diferencia de puntos sobre León, Pachuca, Santos, Querétaro, Pumas y Cruz Azul.
De estos conjuntos, los que prácticamente mantienen sus esperanzas, pero esto gracias a resultados de terceros, son Cruz Azul, Pumas y Querétaro, que necesitan de un milagro para poder llegar a la Liguilla, pues sus 20, 21 y 21 puntos, respectivamente, parecen insuficientes para avanzar.
Mientras que León, Pachuca y Santos –que llevan 22 unidades-, sobre todo los dos primeros, dependen todavía de ellos, ya que si consiguen una victoria, asegurarán su pase; por su parte, el cuadro santista, aparte de que deberá ganar, tendrá que hacerlo con mucha diferencia de goles.
Hasta el momento estos son los ocho conjuntos mexicanos invitados a la fiesta grande: América, 31 puntos; Toluca, 29; Atlas, 28; Tigres, 27 –con un juego menos-; Jaguares, 25, Monterrey, 24 –con dos cotejos menos-, León, 22, y Pachuca, 22.
