León opened up the game by taking every opportunity to shoot on Xolos, and it paid off. Eleven minutes in. Elías Hernández put in a wonderful cross from the right side of the box to Mauro Boselli. Boselli was inexplicably unmarked, and he was able to head the ball in past a helpless Federico Vilar to put La Fiera up 1-0.
Just seven minutes later, León would strike again. This time it was Diego Novaretti who was unmarked in the box, putting a header in past Vilar.
León played absolutely flawless soccer, dominating possession and shooting in the first half.
