Jesús Isijara came back to haunt his old team, as his goal in the 84th minute would see Atlas through to the three points against Santos Laguna at Estadio Jalisco in Guadalajara.
Santos started out on the front foot, taking the game to the home side with quick passing and a commitment to winning the second ball. To their credit, Atlas was able to remain compact on defense and do their best to hit Santos on a counterattack. Atlas also resorted to fouling early and often, picking up three yellow cards in the span of six minutes at one point.
