After today’s result, Xolos are in 13th place in the table and have 1 point while Juárez sit in 2nd with 4 points after 2 matches.

Los Bravos started strong and were rewarded, when Gabriel Fernandez found the net just before halftime, ending the first half 1-0.

Juárez continued to apply pressure in the second and were rewarded, when Gabriel Fernandez found the net again in the 71st minute, leaving the final score at 2-0.

Substitutions for Xolos included Alan Ruiz, Jonathan Suárez, Kevin Castaneda and Franco Di Santo for Rodrigo Parra, Joaquin Montecinos, Christian Rivera and Renato Ibarra, repectively. Juárez brought on Mauro Lainez, Alan Medina, Fernando Arce, Dario Lezcano and Matias Garcia, to replace Candido Ramirez, Maximiliano Silvera, Jaime Gomez, Gabriel Fernandez and Alberto Acosta.
