Xolos de Tijuana goalkeeper Gibrán Lajud rightly deserves to be named man of the match following his absolutely fantastic performance in between the sticks to allow his team’s makeshift squad to sneak out of the Estadio Azteca with a point in a scoreless draw against an incredibly talented Club América sitting atop the standings.
From the moment that the starting lineups were announced it was obviously apparent that Xolos would need a massive game from Lajud. Head coach Diego Cocca was forced to rotate his match day squad following a tough midweek CONCACAF Champions Leage match against Motagua in Edinburgh, Texas.
