Match recap: Toluca FC 2, Santos Laguna 0

Fernando Uribe had a brace thanks to two great free kicks from Rubens Sambueza, as hosts Toluca FC defeated Club Santos Laguna by a score of 2-0.

In the fifth minute Djaniny Tavares found himself in on goal thanks to a great one-two with Julio Furch, but Toluca FC goalkeeper Alfredo Talavera did well to block his shot.

In the eighth minute, Toluca would have a good opportunity when Alexis Canelo got in behind the defense and drew out Santos goalkeeper Jonathan Orozco, however his angle to shoot was too sharp. By the time his pass back to center was corralled, Orozco and center back Carlos Izquierdoz were able to get back and Izquierdoz cleared the shot before it got to Orozco.
