Aviles Hurtado returned to Tijuana and put on the kind of show the Xolos faithful were accustomed to seeing - however this time wearing the blue and white of Monterrey.
The game started out very well for Tijuana. The club looked more cohesive than they had in their first two Liga MX matches, with the players communicating more and looking dangerous in the attack. The partnership along the right between Matias Aguirregaray and Paul Arriola was able to create a good chance for Gustavo Bou early on, however Bou’s shot went well high and wide.
Not to be outdone, the left side pairing of Damian Perez and Nacho Malcorra lead to a corner in the 20th minute.
