Second-seeded America created problems in the opening minutes when Oribe Peralta's shot off a pass from Colombian forward Roger Martinez went just wide of the left upright. The visitors then opened the scoring in the 21st minute on a left-footed shot by 18-year-old Diego Lainez, who had set up the goal by shaking off the mark of midfielder Victor Malcorra and making an impressive run down the right side. The third-seeded Pumas, however, then dominated over a 20-minute stretch against an America side that seemed content to protect its slim advantage. IANS
