Coming into the Week 7 match, Santos hadn’t won on the road all season while FC Juárez hadn’t lost at home. These streaks would end after more than 100 minutes thanks in part to a dramatic Brian Lozano penalty for the game winning goal.
Santos opened the game strong, taking their high press to Juárez immediately and keeping Los Bravos on their heels. This would pay off in the seventh minute when a free kick in the area would be sent in and Eduardo “Lalo” Aguirre would head it into the top corner of the net to give the visitors the lead.
