The last time they played at home, Santos Laguna ended a 26 game unbeaten streak. Today, they perhaps started a new unbeaten streak as they downed a listless Tijuana side 2-0 at TSM Corona. Gael Sandoval was the player of the match for Santos, scoring a goal and nearly getting another in a match that was originally scheduled for September 26 but was rescheduled due to an outbreak of COVID-19 in Tijuana.
Santos came out and applied pressure to Tijuana from the start. Anytime Xolos wound up with the ball they were harried and more often than not forced into making a poor decision.
