Los Gallos Blancos pecked Mazatlan 2-0 and, incidentally, America, which they sent to the third-last place in the classification in this Clausura 2022.
A goal from Kevin Escamilla, with a high dose of fortune, and one more from Ángel Sepúlveda allowed Querétaro to reach 6 points in the tournament, just like their rival in turn who just a few days ago celebrated the victory against the azulcremas.
After giving their best game against the Eagles, as is often the case, teams like Mazatlán drastically lower their level. This is how it happened today on the field of the Corregidora Stadium, in a match in which there was only one shot on goal in the first half, in clear harmony with yesterday’s criticized duel between Bravos and Santos.
Fortunately for fans, the game improved in the add-on. At 58 ‘, Jefferson Montero overflowed from the left and sent a cross, Carlos Vargas cleared with a popcorn, but the ball crashed into Ygor Nogueira and was served to Escamilla, scorer of the goal and who was substituted after that play.
The most footballing action of the afternoon was carried out by Marco Fabián, who hit the ball with a volley, but goalkeeper Washington Aguerre deflected it with one hand, stretching to its full length, at 76′.
A minute later, Querétaro wasted an option to liquidate: Sepúlveda left Juan Romagnoli in heads-up, who failed before the goalkeeper bailed out and because he did not want to assist Pablo Barrera, who was alone in the small area.
At 90’+2′, Nogueira lost the ball at the start against Sepúlveda, who shot low, hitting the right post, for the second of the afternoon.
Querétaro is provisionally in the Repechage zone and gained a dose of confidence ahead of his visit to Toluca, which was the home of his current coach Hernán Crisitante. Los Gallos completed two years on February 16 without winning away from La Corregidora, a period in which they have played 32 games.
América will try to leave the penultimate place tomorrow when it faces Pachuca at the Azteca Stadium.
