Herc gets the start for Santos Laguna at home against Club Leon. Game is about to kick off on Univision Deportes Network. No other YAs are in the game day squad.
1-0 Santos Laguna at the half. Herc had an angled shot saved, was played on goal in the right channel but put his pass behind Quintero, and has had a few crosses blocked. He is primarily playing on the right side of a front 3 though Herc, Peralta, and Quintero will switch positions.
Herc heads a cross field cross square across the six for Peralta who finishes. 2-0 Santos Laguna. An assist for Herc.
Perfectly timed run by Herc and a great assist. Was that also him with the backheel that set up the shot into the side netting. That was a really slick play too.
Queretaro vs. Tigres 6:00 p.m. eastern - Univision Deportes Network Torres starts for Tigres. Diego de la Torre starts for Queretaro. Cruz Azul vs. Puebla 6 p.m. eastern - ESPN Deportes and Azteca America Beasley starts for Puebla. Orozco Fiscal is dealing with an injury.
Tigres up 1-0 at the half. Torres picked up a yellow card in the 18th minute. The goal came when Torres intercepted a cross with his head and the ball fell for Emanuel Villa who dribbled past about 4 defenders and scored. He is playing as a deep lying central midfielder shading to the left side. Nothing too note worthy from his first half performance that I caught. I have not noticed much from Diego de la Torre either. Puebla down 2-0 at the half. Beasley picked up a yellow card in the 37th minute.
Tijuana beat Pachuca 2-0 at home tonight. Edgar Castillo played the full 90 and Corona came off at halftime.
Tigres won 2-0. Torres went 70 minutes. Diego De La Torre was subbed out at half time. Highlights are below. The Torres assist is at 0:31. Puebla fell 4-0. Beasley was subbed out at halftime Club Tijuana - Pachuca: Ricardo Bocanegra played the first half for Atlas in a 2-1 home win over Club America.
