With Puebla tying Tigres in the early match, Tijuana had an opportunity to leapfrog them into Liguilla position heading into the final match of the season. They’d answer the call, scoring four against a Morelia side playing down a player for most of the match and setting up a Week 17 showdown with Puebla that has Liguilla implications for multiple teams.
The game started out slowly and without a lot of rhythm or flow.In the 8th minute, the match was stopped for the referee to review a foul where Sebastián Vegas was hit by a forearm by Miller Bolaños.
