2017 Copa MX match recap: Atlante 1, Tijuana 1

After heavy rains from Tropical Storm Franklin soaked the Yucatan Peninsula for the past day, Xolos and Atlante went ahead as scheduled in Cancun, playing to a 1-1 draw.

In the 12th minute, Xolos had a great chance when Quick Mendoza was sprung on a great pass from Matias Pisano, but his shot hit the side netting. Three minutes later, Luis Chavez would try his luck from the left side but Eduardo Bravo would easily collect the slow roller.

In the 26th minute, Tijuana’s fortunes would change when Juan Lucero got on the end of a fantastic backheel flick by Quick Mendoza and fired a bullet past Bravo to put Tijuana up 1-0 on the Potros.
