· 1-0 (77’): Great header from Henry Martín after the great center that Diego Valdés took
· 2-0 (83’): Bounced ball that was left to Ilian Hernández and he kicked without thinking

Henry came on as a substitute and practically immediately put the game in order.
The expulsion of Omar Govea that left Santos with one less was in the 60th minute. In other words, the Torreón team resisted for more than 15 minutes, but in the end they burst. As if that were not enough, he helped destroy himself with an own goal.
America reached 17 points and has been in the play-in zone for at least two consecutive days. It is true that tonight they had to face the last place in the tournament, but if André Jardine’s team manages to at least avoid the lurches and add a few more points, they will be able to sneak into the reclassification and aspire to win the three-time championship, even if There are teams in much better shape.
Despite the fact that the azulcrema club is having its worst tournament in years, Santos is experiencing one of the worst participations in its entire existence. One ‘crisis’ has nothing to do with the other.
