Guillermo Allison kept Querétaro in the contest with a penalty save, but Club América found a way through to claim all three points in a tight Liga MX Apertura encounter that finished 1-0.

The Querétaro goalkeeper was called into action four times across the ninety minutes, repelling everything América threw at him bar one breakthrough. His most significant intervention came from twelve yards, where he guessed right to keep out the spot kick and preserve parity for a spell.

It wasn't enough. América's solitary goal proved decisive, and Querétaro couldn't muster a response despite Allison's best efforts between the posts. His performance earned a match rating of 7.6, reflecting a solid outing in a losing cause.

For Querétaro, the result extends their struggle to convert defensive resilience into points. Allison has now become a familiar last line of resistance, but without sharper finishing at the other end, these narrow margins will continue to define their campaign. América, meanwhile, grind out another victory built on capitalising when it matters.

One penalty stopped. Four saves made. Zero points to show for it. That's the ruthless arithmetic of tight domestic football, where a goalkeeper can do everything right and still walk away empty-handed.
