    Orozco went the full 90 as his San Luis side defeated Atlas.

    No idea how Michael played but I do know he picked up a yellow card in the 45th minute.

    There was a bizzare play near the end of the game with SL up 2-0. An Atlas dude swung a free kick in, and everyone stopped as it seemed that Orozco shoved a guy in a box which would result in a PK. However, an Atlas striker proceeded to head the ball in while everyone was hesitating, probably presuming that the ref had blown the whistle for a PK. But he counted the goal after conferring with the 4th official.

    In short, Orozco gave away what should have been a penalty, but was ruled as a goal anyway.

    I read a re-cap of the game and it mentioned it was his birthday, too. Turned 23, I believe. Aside from the bizarre play at the end it read like he played well. I have my doubts but I would love to see him called up for the Mexico game.

    I have the highlights of the game and it is the last clip in which you can see him shove the guy: http://watchsocceronline.blogspot.com/
