Two consecutive games without scoring. Two 0-0 draws in a row. Atlas suffers to win, although at least he doesn’t lose. This Wednesday night they went to León‘s house and got a point after a goalless draw. For those at home, it was a terrible result, which seriously complicates their remaining chances in the 2024 Apertura Tournament. While for the Zorro it is a little more positive, as it helped them stay in the play-in zone.
Two teams appeared at the Nou Camp Stadium that urgently needed victory… but it was more their caution not to lose. The show was far from what was expected. When Liga MX wonders why entries in Mexican soccer have decreased, reviewing these types of matches could well offer an answer.
Emotions were scarce, even though the start had been promising, when in the 3rd minute, Steven Mendoza reached a passed cross and finished by stretching. On the line, Camilo Vargas covered with his legs to save the Rojinegros from being at a disadvantage. It seemed like a good omen, but what followed from that action was more boring.
Until the 33rd minute, León knocked on the door again. Jhonder Cádiz found the ball inside the area and finished with his left foot. He lacked strength and at the bottom Camilo Vargas caught it safely. That was it for emotions during the first half. On the part of the visitors, there was no ability to generate danger.
At the start of the complementary part, the Foxes had their most important opportunity. Jeremy Márquez took a shot that managed to overcome the goalkeeper’s attempt, but it barely missed the side, at minute 46. Beñat San José’s team struggled to create any real danger. He limited himself mostly to controlling the rival’s attacks to extend the 0-0 lead.

The Green Bellies tried harder. In ’57, Jhonder Cádiz reached a deep pass, on the right side. He crossed his shot, but again Camilo Vargas kept the ball without difficulty. Already in the final stretch, he knocked on the door again, this time through a counterattack, but Cádiz finished the play with a shot that passed centimeters from the post, at ’81.
