Hirving “Chucky” Lozano scored a brilliant hat-trick as Pachuca recorded a 4-2 win at Leon in their opening game of the 2017 Liga MX Clausura.
Fernando Navarro opened the scoring for the hosts before Chucky leveled with a sublime effort from outside the box.
A fine volley from Maxi Moralez put the scoring briefly at 2-1 in favor of Leon, but a Franco Jara penalty left both teams even heading into the break.
The second half was the Erick Gutierrez and Chucky Lozano show. First, Gutierrez, who came on as a second half substitute, unleashed Lozano into space, and the Mexican international made no mistake to fire the ball past William Yarbrough to give Tuzos the lead.
