Jaguares Still Best Visitors
Jaguares showed why they are the best visiting team by beating Indios 1-0.
Indios have one more game to try and win if not they will be the first team to go win less in the season.
First Half
Indios did not want to go win less at home but Jaguares, the best visiting team was making things hard them.
Yasser Corona tried it for Jaguares in the 2nd minute. Corona fired away but Humberto Hernandez was able to keep it out by conceding a corner.
Indios could not get their offense going and were dependant on corner kicks which never resulted in any danger.
Indios had one in the 21st minute but couldn't finish it off. Alejandro Gonzalez had a good chance at scoring off a header but he sent it wide, justifying why Indios is the worse team in the league.
No one had a shot on goal until the 36th minute. Ezequiel Orozco drove the ball down the right side of the box before firing away. Humberto Hernandez was not able to control the ball but he swatted it away.
Jaguares sent the first warning but Indios didn't take note.
The Felines scored in the 37th minute. Oscar Razo sent in a cross from the left. Oribe Peralta got his head behind it and beat the keeper. Jaguares took a 1-0 lead into the half.
Second Half
Jaguares still dominated in the second half but Indios looked more aggressive.
Luis Ricardo Esqueda decided to try it from outside the box in the 50 th minute. Esqueda's shot was well hit but Oscar Perez kept the shot without any complications.
Jaguares responded one minute later with a shot from Oribe Peralta. Peralta drove down the left side of the box and put in a diagonal shot. The ball just missed the goal as it went wide. Oscar Razo also tried a similar shot in the 57th minute but again it went wide.
Indios did not respond until the 79th minute. Luis Ricardo Esqueda drove down the right and crossed his shot to the left. Perez was well alert and sent the ball off to corner to avoid complications.
Jaguares came back the other way but the post would Dennie them their second. Yasser Corona sent in a shot that crashed against the up right in the 82nd minute.
The felines had the last one in the 88th minute. Ezequiel Orozco tried a low driven shot but Hernandez did well to make the save.
One goal was enough for Jaguares as they cruised past Indios.
