Necaxa came into Tijuana underdogs. They left with a solid 2-1 win over a hot Xolos team that dominated most of the match. Los Rayos withstood a withering attack from the home side and was able to make the most of their opportunities, handing Tijuana their first home loss of the Clausura.
Xolos had the majority of the chances in the beginning of the match. Avilés Hurtado had a good opportunity in on goal early, however he and Necaxa goalkeeper Marcelo Barovero got tangled up and Hurtado’s knee hyperextended. It looked awful on the replay, however luckily Hurtado was quickly back out on the pitch.
