A rough night for Santos as Necaxa took a lead before turning it on in the second half, resulting in a 5-2 win for Los Rayos and Eduardo Fentanes. The loss marks the second week in a row Los Guerreros lost to a former head coach, with Guillermo Almada beating them 3-2 in Pachuca on Monday.
The match was fairly even at the start, with neither team really establishing much in the way of offense. There was a scary moment in the 6th minute when Ismael Govea collided with Jorge Rodríguez, with the latter tweaking his knee. Rodríguez was however able to get up under his own power and continue in the match.
