After embarrassing Pumas in Mexico City on Sunday, Santos had a chance to do something they hadn’t in almost two years: win back-to-back games on the road. They were able to keep the momentum going, beating Xolos in Tijuana by a 2-0 score.
Although both teams had some early possession, Santos was the first to get a good chance when Eduardo “Mudo” Aguirre drew a foul in the sixth minute. The free kick lead to Alan Cervantes sending a ball in that could have been a cross that missed the runner or a shot that missed the far post just wide.
