Match recap: Club Tijuana 2, León 0

Tijuana and León always seem to find controversy when they play, and tonight was no different. A VAR review in the 97th minute could have nullified a goal for Xolos and awarded a game-tying penalty to León, but instead confirmed a 2-0 win for the home side.

Tijuana took the game to León, and their aggressive style paid off in the fifth minute when Fidel Martínez was played down the line, drawing out goalkeeper Alfonso Blanco. Martínez flicked the ball back and toward the center where Mauro Manotas was waiting, heading the ball past an out of position Blanco.
