León give up late equalizer to league-leading Rayados after wasted chances

In what turned into a wasted opportunities clinic yesterday night, León failed to capitalize on their multiple approaches on goal with a 1-0 lead, which would’ve more than likely put the game out of reach from league leaders Rayados. In consequence, Vucetich’s squad got a ball into the box late in the match that resulted in a foul and PK which Duván Vergara took full advantage of, drawing his club even.

After a quick start by a dangerous Rayados club that saw Stefan Medina fire a tough shot from long distance that keeper Cota dealt with as best as possible, as well as Funes Mori hit the crossbar in what was an eventual offside ruling, it was the home side who took a quick lead in this one after a great long ball from Jaine Barreiro that found a streaking Lucas Di Yorio behind a distracted Rayados defense in just under 15 minutes of action.
