Club America Meets Penarol at Coliseum

Mexico’s Club America, last year’s champion of Central and North America, and Uruguay’s Penarol, the South American champion of 1987, will meet for the America’s Cup in the first of two international soccer games beginning tonight at 7 at the Coliseum.

The second game, scheduled to begin at 8:45, features the national teams of El Salvador and Guatemala.

Club America, ranked No. 2 in the Mexican Professional League, beat Municipal of Guatemala last November for the 1987 Central and North American championship.

Coached by Fernando Morena, who played for 10 years on Uruguay’s national team, Penarol became the South American champion last October by beating Argentina’s River Plate.
