Santos Laguna continued their winning ways, defeating Puebla at Estadio Cuauhtémoc by the score of 1-0. Julio Furch’s header in the 78th minute was the difference maker.
In the fourth minute, Santos winger Brian Lozano hit a shot that gave goalkeeper Moisés Muñoz trouble, however Hugo Rodríguez was there for Puebla to clear the ball off of the line. For a good portion of the first half though, the clubs seemed to be feeling each other out looking for weaknesses. Neither side was able to exploit much of anything other than the occasional long distance hopeful shot.
In the 23rd minute the pace of play started to pick up a bit.
