They also beat Yorkshire neighbors Barnsley 3-1 on Wednesday to move into the third round of the League Cup.
¿Hay algo que Emilio Lara no sepa hacer bien? El canterano del América es sin dudas la gran revelación del Apertura 2022 y la noche de este miércoles desbloqueó un nuevo logro en su meteórico ascenso: el Pelón marcó su primer gol en el profesionalismo y de paso le dio la victoria a los azulcrema sobre Querétaro.
