Xolos defeated Toluca 2-1 in the first leg of the Clausura 2018 Semifinals held at the Nemesio Diez.

Martín Lucero was the standout player of the match with a brace that gives an important advantage to Xolos for the second leg, next Sunday.

The Argentine forward put the leaders against the ropes in the 27th minute, with a good shot from outside the box that found the top corner of Talavera's goal.

In the second half, Lucero reappeared to score a diagonal shot in the 50th minute, extending the lead for the home team.

Towards the end of the match, a cross into Tijuana's box found Uribe's head, who pulled one back and set the final score, giving the Diablos some hope for the Sunday's match.
