Pedro Aquino entered and was the protagonist of America's second goal that beat Tigres 2-0 for the 16th date of the 2022 Liga MX Clausura Tournament. The match was played at the Universitario stadium in Nuevo León.

Pedro Aquino entered the field in the 69th minute of the second half to replace midfielder Álvaro Fidalgo.

The Peruvian footballer excelled in the duel with a goal assist for Mexican attacker Henry Martín in the minutes of discount.

The attacking action of America fell back on the left side of the attack of the visiting squad. The steering wheel Salvador Reyes threw a low cross to the area and was cleared by the rival defense.

The rebound was taken by Jonathan Dos Santos who restarted the offense with a pass to center and back for Pedro Aquino.

The player of the Peruvian national team threatened with a possible long-distance shot and ended up giving a pass to his teammate Martín who finished off and after a detour scored the final 2-0.

Pedro Aquino is going to hit him right, good ball in short (...) Henry found an Aquino ball and hit him on the right,” said the TUDN journalist. Then the commentator continued with the flattery for the Peruvian. “Aquino hides the pass because he looks the other way and ends up giving him almost a 'no look' pass and deceives the entire Tigres defense,” he described.
