Santos maintains their dominance at home, downing Atlas 1-0 thanks to a Juan Brunetta goal. Brunetta’s first goal in Liga MX pushes Santos back into the repechacje zone with a game in hand while Atlas sink even closer to the bottom of the table.
Santos had the first good rush of the game two minutes in when Eduardo “Mudo” Aguirre was played in on goal, however Camilo Vargas read it well and slid to control the ball. There was minimal contact on Aguirre, and rightly no call was made. Then at the other end it was Carlos Acevedo coming up big, making a stop on a shot from Ozziel Herrera from close range.
