The Emeralds went ahead on the scoreboard 0-2, one goal in each half and after tying up and containing the Red Devils during the first half, with two goals disallowed for the León team and one more for the Scarlets.
The scores by Steven Mendoza in the 15th minute and by Alfonso ‘Plátano’ Alvarado in the 57th minute gave bad omens to the home team, which although they were unable to come back, did manage to get an important point in their fight to end the sub-leadership in their can.
Alexis Vega was very close to scoring, but what he did do was provide an assist for Paulinho‘s 1-2, who with his goal tied the record of a Toluca player like the Paraguayan José Saturnino Cardozo.
The Portuguese forward scored for the eighth consecutive game at home and at the beginning of the season to equal Pepe Cardozo’s record that he established as the Mexican team’s top scorer.
With this result, Toluca reached 32 points to establish itself second in the standings in the face of a cardiac arrest, first against Tigre and then at home against América. León, for its part, reached 17 points, moving away from the Play-In zone when it still has to face Mazatlán and Rayados.
