Club Tijuana would outplay Monarcas Morelia almost from whistle to whistle, however a perfectly executed free kick by Morelia’s Diego Valdés ensured the Xolos would get only one point on the night.
Tijuana would get off to a great start, pressuring the ball and forcing Morelia to turning the ball over. In the second minute Ignacio “Nacho” Malcorra, who made his return to the starting lineup from injury, sent a great ball in to Luis “Quick” Mendoza. Quick was in one on one with Morelia goalkeeper Sebastián Sosa, however he scuffed his shot and it rolled harmlessly wide of goal.
