First third of the match

In the first third of the match, it was closed with few offensive moves and few attacks on either side.

Julián Quiñones scores

Irven Ávila received the ball on the right side of the penalty area, almost glued to the goal line, from where he sent a cross to the second post for Julián Quiñones, who headed it in and scored his sixth goal of the tournament.

León efforts to equalize

After being behind on the scoreboard and surpassed in the game, the León team launched themselves forward, but lacked creativity and intensity.

Opportunities for León but no goals

Despite this, in the 38th minute, they had a cross from Burbano that Claudio González tried to head, but the forward leaned on the defender and committed a foul. One minute later, they attempted a shot from outside the area that the goalkeeper Lucero Álvarez saved well in two attempts.

Missed chance by Mosqueda

In the 45th minute, a free kick from the left reached the small area, where Mosqueda missed the header.

Both teams with chances in the second half

In the start of the second half, both teams had a chance to score. First, Quiñones received a pass that he headed poorly when he had everything to control the ball and shoot at goal; then Burbano received a filtered pass into the area, controlled the ball, but took a weak shot.

BUAP extends their lead

In the 59th minute, the Wolves managed to extend their lead, 0-2. Carlos María Morales took a free kick from the left with a service to the second post, where Pedro Aquino headed it back for Quiñones to score his second goal of the night.

León scores and narrowing the gap

Two minutes later, the León team scored, 1-2. Claudio González precisely headed a cross from the left to beat Lucero.

León pushes for the equalizer

The goal gave the León team hope that they could get the equalizer, so they tightened the pressure on the Wolves, who gradually started to lose control of the game and gave full initiative to the home team, although they were arriving more through force than talent.

León completes the comeback

In the 76th minute, León tied the match. González once again scored with a header. He received a service without marking at the second post.

The Panzas Verdes could have turned the game around two minutes later, but Elías Hernández missed his shot inside the area, after having already tricked the goalkeeper, but sent the ball wide.
