The Queretaro team continued their upward path under the technical direction of Jaime Lozano, after defeating Necaxa 4-1 on Saturday, which is a shadow of what it was last season.

In the hostilities of Matchday 7 of the Clausura 2017 tournament of the Liga MX, Gallos Blancos won the victory at Estadio Victoria with goals from Luis Miguel Noriega (7), Hiram Mier (45+1), Colombian Yerson Candelo (86), and Gerardo Lugo (89).

Chilean Edson Puch had equalized for Rayos in the 26th minute.

By doing so, Queretaro reached nine points in the table, while the hydrocalids remained with seven points and thanks to their performance in the past Apertura 2016, when they reached the semifinals, the issue of relegation does not worry them too much.

Since a few weeks ago when 'Jimmy' Lozano replaced Victor Manuel Vucetich, Gallos Blancos showed improvement in their performance and the results also accompanied them, with two wins and one draw to regain their spirits.

Luis Miguel Noriega, who shone last week, did it again and with a great wall pass with Emmanuel Villa, scored the 1-0 with a powerful shot that beat Argentine Marcelo Barovero.

However, Necaxa reacted through their figure Edson Puch, who anticipated the near post and beat the Brazilian Tiago Volpi with a precise header.

The match became equal, but before halftime, Hiram Mier led Gallos Blancos to victory thanks to a deflected ball that left the Necaxa goalkeeper with no chances, making it 2-1.

In the second half, Necaxa sought the equalizer and left spaces behind, a situation that the visitors took advantage of to extend their lead with two more goals towards the end of the match. Yerson Candelo made it 3-1 after a good dribble and with the help of his shot that hit a rojiblanco defender.

Finally, Gerardo Lugo took advantage of a poor clearance from the Necaxa defense to beat Barovero in a match where everything went right for Gallos Blancos to continue their good run in the era of the novice coach Lozano.

On their side, the Rayos should thank the cushion of points they earned in the previous tournament, combined with Morelia's poor performance, for not being too worried about relegation.

The referee of the match was Jorge Perez, who had an acceptable performance: he booked the local players Felipe Gallegos, Severo Meza, Manuel Iturra, and Jonas Aguirre, as well as the visitors Hiram Mier and Luis Noriega.
