After jumping out to an early 2-0 lead thanks to two enormous defensive blunders by Mazatlán FC, León appeared to be well on their way to a season-high sixth consecutive victory. Even a couple minutes after the second goal, Luis Montes had another perfectly set ball from inside the half-circle which went whistling by the top left corner of the post which would’ve put them up three. It was utter dominance by the reigning champs and Mazatlán didn’t look to stand any sort of chance en route to a blowout.
Then came Michael Rangel’s wide open header that found its way to the back of the net before the half.
