Club América will play against Chicago Fire on Friday, August 4, in the Round of 32 of Leagues Cup 2023. Las Águilas made their debut in the group stage with a resounding 4-0 victory over St. Louis City SC. However, in their second match, they suffered a 1-4 defeat against Columbus Crew.
It was precisely in this Leagues Cup match, held at the Lower.com Field stadium, where the day after the defeat, Kevin Álvarez, one of the best players of the team this season, met a fan of Club América who, along with her dad, traveled 7 hours from North Carolina to Columbus to meet him.
After a good chat, Kevin fulfilled the young fan's dream of having a photo with him and giving her a hug. The fan told him that they had been playing well, and encouraged them to give their best. Kevin replied with a "you'll see on Friday."
