“Ettson Ayón breaks the deadlock with a composed right-footed finish from the center of the box, capping a period of Juárez pressure that included a blocked Torres shot and a corner.”
Pivotal“Denzell García is fouled inside the penalty area and Ettson Ayón steps up to bury the spot-kick into the bottom right corner, doubling Juárez's advantage just before half time.”
Pivotal“VAR intervenes to award San Luis a penalty for a Jesús Murillo handball deep in first-half stoppage time, and João Pedro sends his right-footed effort into the bottom right corner to give the visitors a foothold heading into the break.”

Outstanding performance
Juárez•AttackerJuárez controlled the tempo from the opening whistle and were rewarded early, with Ettson Ayón finishing clinically after a spell of sustained pressure that included a blocked shot and a corner in the opening four minutes. The home side doubled their advantage just before the interval when Denzell García won a penalty after a foul in the box, and Ayón stepped up again to make it 2-0. San Luis were handed a lifeline through a VAR-reviewed handball penalty in stoppage time, converted by João Pedro, but the goal proved little more than a consolation as the visitors never truly threatened in the second half. Juárez finished with 58 dangerous attacks to San Luis's 37 and created three big chances to one, underlining their overall dominance — though they were wasteful with two big chances missed, which meant the closing stages carried more tension than the scoreline strictly warranted.
