Rafael Puente, Jr.’s Gallos Blancos were able to keep high-flying Santos Laguna grounded for most of the evening. They would concede a late goal, but would triumph 2-1 at La Corregidora.
The teams started out fast, going end-to-end. Santos started out getting the better chances on goal, although neither team was able to get anything threatening to happen at first.
In the 18th minute, Querétaro would get on the board when Alexis Pérez got on the end of a corner kick to beat Jonathan Orozco for his first goal of the Apertura. It was the first goal conceded by Santos in 115 minutes.
