Romo overcame an early missed penalty kick and scored a late equalizer in Queretaro's 1-1 draw with Morelia. The result helped Queretaro move past a 6-0 drubbing the club suffered at America a week ago.
In the fifth minute of the game Saturday, Queretaro appeared poised to break through. Queretaro were awarded a spot kick after Mauricio Romero elbowed Emilio Lopez inside the box. Romo stepped forward to take it. However, Romo blasted the attempt over Morelia's goal and the visitors were left off the hook.
In the 27th minute, Luis Gabriel Rey helped set up Morelia's first goal. Rey stole the ball from a Queretaro player and dribbled down the heart of the field. Rey fed Miguel Sabah inside the box. Sabah took one touch and the ball jumped off his feet and onto Hugo Droguett's path. Droguett buried the ball into the back of the net.
Morelia, a gritty defensive-minded club at times, reverted to its defensive style of play in order to preserve their lead and walk away with three points. But Romo had other thoughts. In the 89th minute, Rodrigo Iñigo crossed the ball into the box from the right side of the field. Romo settled underneath it and hit a soft header out of Moises Muñoz's reach and into the corner of the net.
