No one likes a draw, however both Tijuana and Veracruz are likely to be disappointed with the 0-0 draw in Estadio Caliente. A total of ten yellow cards were shown, including Diego Chávez picking up a second.
Xolos and Veracruz have very similar styles of play, with both clubs employing a physical high press looking to create turnovers through hard-nosed play and a tenacious work ethic. Neither team was able to establish much in the way of possession early, with both picking up fouls (and getting away with more).
The first shot of the match was a long-distance strike from Cristian Menéndez, that was easily stopped by Gibran Lajud in the 11th minute.
