This week, Santos Laguna named Carlos Acevedo as the club’s captain. He repaid their faith by putting forth a stellar performance, stopping a penalty and making several brilliant saves to lead Santos to a 2-0 win over Tigres UANL. Juan Ferney Otero got his first goal in Liga MX and Eduardo “Mudo” Aguirre continued his good run of form with an insurance goal late.
The big talking points to start the game was the absence of Nicolás “El Diente” López and André-Pierre Gignac, Gignac was ruled out yesterday with a hip issue, however Diente traveled with the club but due to an ankle injury was a game time decision.
