This Sunday, León defeated América 3-2 in a new Liga MX match with Ecuadorians Ángel Mena and Byron Castillo as decisive factors in the match.
Both teams faced each other in a vertiginous and back-and-forth match, which went into halftime tied at one.
In the second half, at minute 66, Byron Castillo assisted his teammate Osvaldo Rodríguez to extend the advantage for Los Esmeraldas. However, 15 minutes later, América would equalize through Henry Martin.
Just when it seemed like the match would end in a draw, a penalty by Uruguayan Sebastián Cáceres gave León a golden opportunity to take all three points.
Ángel Mena and his teammate Di Yorio debated on who should take the final shot and the Ecuadorian came out on top, scoring the decisive 3-2 goal and unleashing madness in the stands. With this result, their team sits sixth in the Liga MX, six points behind Tigres, the sole leader.
