America and Santos Laguna tied by a score of 2-2 in an exciting match that earned the ticket at TSM Corona.
This was a back and forth game, where neither of the two coaches spared and looked for how the goal would lead.
This intensity did not take long to take its toll, and at minute 22′ Harold Preciado He destroyed the American defense to shoot inside the area and open the scoring.
From that goal the tone of the game was the same, both looking for the three rival sticks to try to get the score. However, Santos wet again via Javier Correawho took a powerful shot beating Oscar Jiménez who was an accomplice because he was not well placed.
