If ever a club needed a win entering a match, it was Tijuana. After a week that saw the club thrown into turmoil and their biggest rival come to town, Xolos were able to leave all of that behind them and defeat León by a score of 2-1.
Before the game started, there were several fights that broke out between fans of the two clubs in the area surrounding Estadio Caliente.
There is simply no place for this sort of behavior.
During the actual match, Xolos showed in a 4-4-2 formation that dropped Alejandro Donatti in favor of pushing Juan Iturbe and Nacho Malcorra out wide and pairing Damián Musto with norteamericano Alejandro Guido in the central midfield.
