An important win by Santos Laguna, as they defeat Veracruz 5-0 at Estadio Corona TSM. It could have been very easy for Santos to lose their focus against a team that hasn’t won in their last 34 league matches, but Santos came out and did what they had to do, getting goals from four different players and an own goal from Veracruz.
In the third minute Santos was gifted with a golden opportunity when Sebastián Jurado turned the ball over while off of his line when Diego Valdés came crashing in and blocked his clearance. Valdés corralled the ball and passed it centrally to an onrushing Fernando Gorriarán, but the Uruguayan took one too many touches and dribbled himself out of possession.
