The controversy occurred at the beginning of the match, when the Monterrey team surprised Guadalajara just in the 10th minute with a goal from Lucas Ocampos after connecting with a rebound from local goalkeeper José Rangel; However, after reviewing the play on the VAR, referee Jesús López decided to annul the score due to a previous foul on the goalkeeper.

After the scare, the rojiblancos responded with a right foot from the center of the area by Armando González, who in the first minutes had faked a header, but the ball went over the side of the frame protected by Esteban Andrada. The action cost Chivas dearly, since the young forward was injured and had to come off as a substitute at 17, his place was taken by Ricardo Marín.

Contrary to what was expected, the modification was successful, since Marín himself opened the scoring at 28, after connecting with a left footed pass to the center from Roberto “Piojo” Alvarado to put the score at 1-0.

The score motivated the team led by Fernando Gago, who continued to stalk the rival goal with shots from Marín and Fernando Beltrán, but neither could beat Andrada.

For its part, Monterrey was unable to generate danger. Ocampos was encouraged to shoot from long distance, but the ball only grazed the crossbar, so his team went to half-time with the deficit on the scoreboard.

It was until the end of the match when the Rayados, led by Martin Demichelis, achieved the tie. At minute 88, Jesús “Tecatito” Corona took advantage of a bad start by “Tala” Rangel to nail the ball into the opposing goal and tie the scores (1-1).

Mateo Chávez had the opportunity to give Chivas the lead back at 90+4, but his shot hit the crossbar and his team had to settle for a tie.
