The Comarca team came from a resounding victory away against Pumas, faced some complications, but managed to solve them to maintain their good momentum.

After a strong start from Santos, the border team began to pressure the low zone of Santos, their advances transcended through the wings with increasing danger.

Tijuana had a siege that almost resulted in a goal, a series of attempts inside the area, Santos couldn't clear the ball and Xolos tried four times, but couldn't beat Acevedo's goal.

Eduardo Fentanes had to make a forced change due to Jair González injuring his right ankle, so Leo Suárez took his place in the 17th minute.

The lagunero team rose and realized that there were spaces to attack. They launched balls to the wings with a preference for the right side and thus, in the 22nd minute, they generated an action in which Harold Preciado controlled the ball in the area, passed it back to Eduardo Aguirre, who took a shot that Jonathan Orozco saved with a good reaction and on a second attempt, El Mudo headed over the goal.

The match picked up pace, it saw dynamism with the help of the synthetic surface of the field, end-to-end action, the laguneros fought equally, they positioned themselves better and were able to level the game and move the ball from side to side with Fernando Gorriarán as the engine in the midfield, very active as usual.

Joaquín Montecinos broke through on the right side, took a powerful shot that Acevedo deflected for a corner kick in the 32nd minute. The border team didn't want to lose possession of the ball, they continued to look for the backs of the full-backs.

Santos mounted a counterattack that could have been lethal, but Suárez's finishing wasn't adequate, missing a great opportunity at the end of the first half.

Santos started the second half well, reaching Orozco's goal. Brunetta took a shot and the goalkeeper saved it to the side.

The Comarca team launched more determined attacks until the 55th minute, when Juan Brunetta appeared again on the left side, headed towards the area to take a left-footed shot, crossing it and keeping it low. The ball slipped past goalkeeper Jonathan Orozco and Santos Laguna led 1-0.

Ricardo Valiño decided to refresh his attack in the 61st minute, but had to make a forced adjustment with the expulsion of Nico Díaz in the 64th minute for a tackle on Suárez.

Santos' reaction was discreet, Correa and Domínguez replaced Aguirre and Brunetta, Santos had trouble settling down, added to the reaction of the pack, which came close to equalizing when Renato Ibarra took a powerful shot, Acevedo managed to save it, the ball hit the crossbar and in the rebound, Castillo missed incredibly.

Lisandro with a header from the center of the box and Acevedo with a spectacular save prevented Xolos from scoring.
