Match recap: León 4, Santos Laguna 1

A night to forget for Santos, as Víctor Dávila had two goals and Hugo Rodríguez got sent off in León’s 4-1 victory at the Nou Camp. Santos did end León’s second-longest shutout streak of the season at 246 minutes, but gave up four to a team that had scored more than two goals in just one of their previous ten matches.

Santos almost got on the board first in the third minute when Harold Preciado got a head onto a corner kick, but Rodolfo Cota made a brilliante diving save to deny the opportunity. Three minutes late León created something out of seemingly nothing, when a picked off pass and Santos’ inability to clear the ball lead to Víctor Dávila rifling one through traffic and into the back of the net for his fourth goal of the season.
