Angel Zaldívar struck first for Chivas in the 44th minute on a penalty kick, then Torres Villanueva added another in the 2nd minute of the first half’s stoppage time In the end, Mazatlán was frustrated by Chivas’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Chivas ended the match with the shutout victory.

Preciado Garcia scored the first goal for Santos Laguna in the 22nd minute, then Daniel Alvarez tied it up for Toluca in the 41st minute Finally they completed the comback victory in the 56th minute on a goal by Leonardo Fernández to cap off a wild match. Toluca looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 7 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, in Estadio Nemesio Díez, Toluca and Mazatlán battled to a 2-2 draw. Ian González Nieto scored the first goal for Toluca in the 9th minute, but Camilo Sanvezzo got the equalizer for Mazatlán in the 32nd minute .
Haret Ortega and Rigonato Rodrigues are the top scorers for Toluca in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Mazatlán’s top weapon lately has been Camilo Sanvezzo, who has two goals in the last five matches.
