Alejandro Zendejas’ stellar season with Liga MX powerhouse Club America helped him earn his first senior call up to the U.S. men’s national team, and the 24-year-old celebrated by delivering a Man of the Match performance in Saturday’s league draw.
Zendejas scored once and assisted once in Club America’s 2-2 draw with Puebla, giving the talented attacker his first goal and assist of the new Clausura season. Despite Club America being pegged back twice by the visitors in the final score, Zendejas showed exactly what he can bring to the table for the USMNT. Zendejas’ pass to Henry Martin helped Club America break the deadlock from Estadio Azteca, giving the hosts a 1-0 advantage. Zendejas called his own number in the 67th minute, roofing a shot into the top-left corner to extend Club America’s lead to 2-1 at the time.
Zendejas finished the match with the most chances created (3), the most dribbles completed (1), and seven duels won. Up next for Zendejas is a pair of international friendlies with the USMNT against Serbia and Colombia in California.
