Querétaro and América faced off on Saturday, March 7 at Estadio La Corregidora for Jornada 10 of Liga MX Clausura 2026. The intensity matched the stakes—both teams arrived desperate for three points, and the match delivered exactly the drama you'd expect. The first half ended at Estadio La Corregidora with a 1-1 draw between Querétaro and América.
Bryan "El Rayito" Rodríguez scored a stunning goal for América after a counterattack, opening the scoring and putting the home side under pressure from the very first moments. But Querétaro equalized with a powerful header from Coronel after an assist from Ecuadorian Julio, producing a spectacular goal that tied the match. The back-and-forth action kept both squads fighting for control throughout the half.
For América, this wasn't just another game. The club traveled to the Estadio Corregidora with two consecutive league defeats and faced the possibility of a third straight loss—something that has not happened in Liga MX competitions since André Jardine took over in summer 2023. América sit outside Liguilla positions with 11 points after nine matchdays. A third loss would mark Jardine's worst streak since arriving at the club and raise serious questions about their playoff credentials.
Meanwhile, Querétaro occupies the penultimate position in the table with just six points, sitting only above Santos Laguna. At home, the Gallos Blancos came in hungry to climb away from the bottom and prove they belong in the playoff conversation. The 1-1 result keeps both teams fighting into the second half with everything on the line.
