After a few doubts started to set in, the 26-year-old used an incredible piece of skill to separate himself from his defender to double América’s lead in the dying minutes.

In the 90th minute, Castillo broke free and smashed his shot in the bottom corner to give himself two goals in his first three Liga MX contests this season.
