Outstanding performance
Querétaro•MidfielderQuerétaro secured a crucial 3-1 victory over Necaxa in a match that defied the possession statistics, with the hosts converting their limited chances with clinical efficiency. Despite Necaxa dominating the ball with 73% possession and completing 511 passes to Querétaro's 185, it was the home side who created the more dangerous opportunities with 34 attacking moves. Mateo Coronel was the standout performer with a brace, while Santiago Homenchenko's spectacular long-range opener set the tone for a disciplined counter-attacking display. The match turned increasingly fractious in the final stages, with Lorenzo Faravelli and Agustín Oliveros both receiving red cards, but by then Querétaro had already sealed three valuable points that could prove vital in their Liga MX campaign.
