When Tijuana’s Luis Chávez struck the ball, you could tell something was wrong. The 22 year old had come on as a sub five minutes prior to getting past an Atlas defender and going in on goalkeeper José Hernández with an eye for getting an insurance goal to pad Xolos’ tenuous 1-0 lead.
As Chávez cut in he planted his left foot and swung his right at the ball, but the grass under his plant foot gave way. Chávez ankle could be seen on the replay turning at a grotesque, unnatural angle as his shot went straight into Hernández’ torso.
