Necaxa vs. América: Facundo Batista's goal for the 1-0 lead over 'Águilas'

The mission of Necaxa is to stay in the fight to enter the quarterfinals of the playoffs of the Torneo Apertura of Liga MX. In matchday 14, the 'Rayos' face Club America and for now they manage to take the lead in the scoreboard, with an early goal by Uruguayan Facundo Batista.

The duel on the Estadio Victoria de Aguascalientes pitch had barely passed seven minutes when the 'Rayos' started an advance on the right side. However, there was a surprising change of direction to the left, where Bryan Garnica appeared with space to decide what to do.

Finally, the midfielder crossed a center and Facundo Batista was the protagonist: first he brought down the ball for Fernando Madrigal, who could not define, and then he had to anticipate, on the rebound, to overcome the resistance of goalkeeper Oscar Jimenez.
