The Atlante Iron Colts
The Atlante Iron Colts showed their strength in the last minute of the match against Morelia and with a goal from defender Jonathan Sánchez, they obtained the three points that propelled them to second place in the general standings, tied with Cancún FC.
Once again, the Iron Colts demonstrated that they have the best defense by completely neutralizing their opponent. It is worth noting that they have only allowed 6 goals in 12 matches, proving to be an impenetrable barrier.
A bar fight involving Atlas' Barra 51 ruins tribute to Daniel Osorno.
In the Morelos Stadium, both teams tried to break through the defense or take shots from long range, but nothing managed to surpass the goalkeepers. Although there were several impressive opportunities, such as Fernando Illescas' scissor kick at 31 minutes, which narrowly missed the post.
His teammate Omar Islas attempted a shot on goal at 52', but it went straight into the hands of goalkeeper Humberto "Gansito" Hernández. That, along with a final shot at the end of the match, was all that the Michoacán team could do on the offensive end.
On the other hand, Atlante managed to score a goal thanks to a set-piece play in the 90th minute from the right side that ended with a cross to the far post, where Jonathan "Cuba" Sánchez appeared and headed in the solitary 1-0.
The celebration lasted longer than necessary and even when referee Axel Meza asked him to hurry up, Cuba did not want to rush, and he also confronted defender Víctor Milke.
In the end, the game resumed, but there was no opportunity for more goals in the match and for now, Atlante will face Cancún FC at the Azulgrana Stadium to determine the second place in the general standings of the Expansion League, as both teams have 22 points.
