Territorio Santos Modelo has always been a fortress for Santos Laguna, and tonight was no exception. Santos dominated almost the entire game, and a three goal flurry to start the second half secured their second straight win and propelled them all the way into fourth place with a game in hand on most teams. The four goal win was the biggest margin of victory since they beat Tijuana with a similar 4-0 score back on March 13.
While Santos started the match looking better in possession, Cruz Azul had the first chance at goal in the fifth minute when Ignacio “Nacho” Rivero teed up a shot from distance, however it didn’t curl enough and went just wide of the net.
