It wasn’t perhaps the prettiest or most entertaining match, but Santos and Xolos played a tight game where both teams managed to give good accounts of themselves. Unfortunately for Xolos fans, Santos came out on top, putting Xolos’ in a spot where they may have to fight to make the repechaje.
Xolos pressed early, getting a shot on goal in the second minute but Carlos Acevedo saved it easily. Santos however settled in and started to find their footing, pushing up the field and creating chances. Juan Brunetta got a great pass in from the right flank from Raúl “Dedos” López, but his shot was directed right at Antonio “Toño” Rodríguez.
